Workplace Giving

Creating better futures through education

Making small, regular donations to The Smith Family through Workplace Giving is an easy way to help young Australians impacted by poverty.

Your employees are in control of how much they give from each pay, and their donations are pre-tax, reducing their taxable income. They can choose to donate a nominated amount to support the education of children in need, or for around $1.90 a day, they can even sponsor the education of an individual child.

In addition, you may decide to match your employee’s donations dollar for dollar – effectively doubling your combined impact. Best of all, your valuable donations will help support the education of more young Australians in need, empowering them to create better futures for themselves.

Are you currently employed and interested in Workplace Giving?

Contact your Payroll or HR Team to find out if your organisation has a Workplace Giving program in place. If they do, those teams will be able to support you in setting up a donation to come directly from your pay. If they don't, encourage them to get in touch with us via the form below to learn more about setting up a program.

Why get involved?

Apart from enabling you to attract and retain talent, a successful program will bring your organisation’s values and culture to life – helping your team find a greater sense of purpose at work, by getting involved in activities that develop pride, foster teamwork, enhance motivation and create social change.

Did you know that 62% of CEOs say that allowing employees to be involved in socially responsible activities is key to attracting talent¹, or that research from JB Hi-Fi showed that employees who took part in Workplace Giving had a 43% longer tenure than those who did not?²

“Since 2001, KWM has enjoyed a strong partnership with The Smith Family. We are proud to have donated more $1.8M through our workplace giving program, DigDeep®, including individual student sponsorships. Together, we are making a real difference.”

Jane, Community Impact National Advisor, KWM
