Workplace Giving

CAF's Workplace Giving service gives employees the opportunity to make a significant and lasting impact on the work of their preferred charity/s through a direct tax deductible donation from their pre-tax pay. In July 2012, pre-tax Workplace Giving celebrates 10 years in Australia. CAF is proud to have led a consortium to lobby the Federal Government in 2002 to bring about pre-tax Workplace Giving as know it today.

A leader in this field, CAF assists companies with the development, implementation and ongoing management of a Payroll Giving program. We provide back office administration, streamlined accounting, distribution of monthly donations and reporting. Costs are minimised for employers and not-for-profits alike. Our proprietary software enables employee donors to give to any of the 25,000+ Deductible Gift Recipient charities in Australia. We also provide services in New Zealand and other overseas countries for clients that operate at a regional or global level.

As well as providing regular monthly donations, CAF provides Workplace Giving services for one-off appeals such as Disaster Appeals or other company or employee-driven fundraising appeals. All appeals data and funds are detailed separately for simple and accurate reporting.

Our system allows flexibility in order to meet the objectives of your company's corporate community investment program and for maximum employee engagement.
