Workplace Giving or giving through your pay is a simple, low cost way for you to make regular donations that are automatically deducted from your pre-tax pay to assist the Property Industry Foundation – and the donations really do make a difference!
Give Through Your Pay
With your help we can have an impact on thousands of young, vulnerable people through funding systemic change, supporting our partner charities and building homes for homeless youth.
Young people need to have a safe place to live to thrive & fulfill their potential.
Donate to Charity through Your Pay
Why Donate Via Your Salary?
Workplace giving is a joint relationship between employers, employees and the Property Industry Foundation. Individuals contribute a small portion of their pre-tax salary to the Foundation and receive the tax benefit straight away rather than waiting until the end of the financial year. For example, if you donate $20, it will only cost you $12.60[1] but the Foundation will receive the full $20. In most cases, employers will match staff donations, so the value of your donation will double to $40 direct to the Foundation.
The most successful way to increase donations is for workplaces to match donations. Businesses can enhance the impact of their workplace giving program by incorporating volunteering, skill-sharing and in-kind support.

“If just 10% of working Australians donated $5 per week through their pay, an additional $260m would be generated each year.”

Information for Employers
Workplace Giving or giving through your pay is one of the most cost effective ways businesses can help support the community. It gives employees a simple, convenient, and efficient way to give to a cause they care about. Once established, there is little maintenance or cost incurred for the employer and with little administration cost for the Property Industry Foundation, the money can go where it is really needed. Even a small weekly amount when donated by a number of employees can go a long way towards helping the Foundation to make a difference.
Workplace giving correlates with greater staff engagement, retention, productivity, reputation and social impact.
You can monitor the level of charitable giving that your company has helped achieve. Receive regular updates on how the money you have raised has helped to change lives. Any administration costs involved are tax-deductible.
