Workplace Giving is a simple and impactful way to support Animal Welfare League NSW. By making regular, pre-tax donations straight from your salary, you can help animals in need while receiving an immediate tax benefit.
How it works
Workplace Giving allows you to make automatic, pre-tax donations to Animal Welfare League NSW through your salary. These small, regular contributions make a significant impact on animals in need without noticeably affecting your take-home pay. This program offers a tax-efficient way to support animal welfare while potentially reducing your taxable income.
How to set up Workplace Giving
An easy to set-up and administer Workplace Giving program can be delivered through your company payroll system. Your company’s payroll team is responsible for contacting and providing the donations directly to Animal Welfare League NSW. More information can be found on the Australian Tax Office website.
