Workplace giving enables employees to give directly to Cancer Council from their pre-tax pay. It's one of the simplest, most tax efficient and cost-effective ways to donate. Corporate organisations can engage and motivate staff by providing an integrated staff engagement program, including matching workplace giving funds donated by employees.
Benefits:
- increase staff morale
