Workplace Giving

Why give through your workplace?

Workplace giving with Raise is one of most powerful ways you can help impact youth wellbeing and engagement through early intervention mentoring programs in schools around Australia. Your contribution will ensure young people feel heard, valued and supported and learn the skills to become more resilient, capable and connected.

Regular giving through your workplace also enables Raise to plan for the future and ultimately make a greater difference to the young people of Australia.

How does it work for employees?

Workplace giving enables you as an employee to make a real difference through regular donations from your pre-tax pay while going about your everyday work. It doesn’t take much – in fact you probably won’t notice the difference to your pay – but with your ongoing support Raise can provide one-on-one mentoring for more young Australians.

By donating money directly through your payroll system, you can obtain the tax benefit immediately, rather than applying at the end of the financial year.

You can donate as much or little as you like (minimum $1)
There’s no need for you to remember to make a payment each month
You can opt out anytime – you have full control over your giving
It’s a tax effective way to give to a charity – costing you less to give more because your nominated donation is deducted from your salary on each pay day, before deducting your tax
Your place of work may also match your donation – making your donation even more significant

Contact your payroll officer or human resources department to get set up on the workplace giving platform and then you will receive updates on how your donation is helping young Australians.
