What is Workplace Giving?

Workplace giving is a simple and effective way for you to regularly donate to Taralye through automated payroll deductions. You pledge a nominated amount to Taralye ( i.e. $5 a week) and that amount is sent directly to us by your employer each pay.

What's in it for you?

By contributing to a workplace giving pre-tax program, you receive the benefit of an immediate tax deduction from your (weekly/ fortnightly/monthly) wage.

You are assured that your donation is received free of cost by Taralye.

If just 10 per cent of the Australian Workforce donated $5 a week from their pay through workplace giving, an extra $278 million per year would be raised for our communities.*

Workplace giving does not require a lot of time or effort from you; you won't have to lift a finger and you'll barely notice it's gone. It is particularly handy for people who would like to contribute to our services but do not wish, or are unable, to take a more active role in our fundraising activities.

How Does Workplace Giving Help Taralye?

Financial assistance is vital to the ongoing work of Taralye, as it costs an estimated $10,000 a year to help one deaf child to learn to speak.

Workplace giving funding enables Taralye to better plan activities, goals and budgets based on a regular flow on income. This means greater community outcomes can be achieved at much lower administrative costs - a preferable alternative to expensive fundraising activities.

What happens at tax time?

Taralye will keep a record of your donations during the year and provide you with an annual statement for the amount you have donated.

In a pre-tax workplace giving system you will have already received the tax benefit throughout the year for your donation. Therefore you only need to record the amount on your tax return, rather than keeping receipts and claiming for that amount.

It's an easy way to give!
