 Testimonials
Global Philanthropic
In response to Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) Australia's role in the Australian Government workplace payroll giving initiative (August 2005).
‘I congratulate you and your colleagues on this initiative. While others are now seen as promoters of payroll giving, I recall the earliest discussions with CAF, and I always thought CAF's experience in achieving changes to charitable giving in the UK would benefit our Australian situation.
Well done, and thank you for including me on your distribution list for the announcement.’

Intrepid Travel
Intrepid Travel specializes in operating small group adventure trips to Asia,
the Middle East, Europe and Australasia. ‘Many of the people who travel
with us at Intrepid want to become more involved with the communities they
visit. They want to contribute back by supporting projects that are important
to the people they've met and we want to help them to do this. That's why
we set up our Foundation Account with CAF. CAF Australia has helped us bring
our collective ambition to life, firstly by helping us give 'shape' to our
community fund and then by taking on the administration. This has helped
us to improve the lives of the people who live in the places that concern
our travellers. CAF is also assisting us to become more targeted, consistent,
open and accountable in our philanthropic and community support activities.’

Fundraising Institute-Australia
‘Over the past three years, CAF's role was significant in promoting
the introduction of pre-tax payroll giving programs to the Australian government
and corporations. Fundraising Institute Australia recognises CAF's importance
to the fundraising sector and welcomes the opportunity to undertake further
work with CAF to enhance the capacity of charities in Australia.’

Macquarie Bank Foundation
‘After the Australian Tax Office ruling enabling pre-tax payroll giving
last year, we were keen to establish a program as quickly as possible. There
is a strong willingness among Macquarie staff to contribute to their wider
community and they see the program as a way of making a concrete commitment
to the not-for-profit sector.’

Sydney Water
‘Sydney Water decided to sign up and promote payroll giving as it makes
giving so simple for employees and allows complete donor choice to our staff.
When implemented through CAF, it is simple for a company of any size to run
a payroll giving program.’
Allan Andrews
Project Manager
Sydney Water
‘Many of our staff are actively involved in their communities. Payroll
Giving enables them to support these not-for-profit organisations in other
ways. Sydney Water is proud to be supporting our employees, while also assisting
those in need in the community.’

Rural Fire Service NSW
‘The Charities Aid Foundation’s program was chosen for the RFS payroll giving program because it provided a simple, tax-effective way for staff to support the community. And for the recipient charities, it kept administration to an absolute minimum. The initial program has been so successful that our contractors and volunteers are interested to have similar programs implemented in their workplaces.’
