Workplace Giving

(Available in Australia only)

Workplace Giving benefits animals who desperately need help by providing the long-term, ongoing support they need to live free from cruelty.

By making regular tax-deductible donations to WSPA from their salaries, employees can help WSPA build and establish sanctuaries to rehabilitate rescued animals, lobby governments to achieve legislation that outlaws cruelty to animals and change attitudes to animal welfare through education. And it can ensure emergency relief when disaster strikes.
 
Getting started

The process is simple. Just enter a Workplace Giving arrangement and nominate WSPA as the charity or recipient. The donation amount will be a set amount deducted from each employee’s pay period, i.e. fortnightly or monthly. The amount deducted can be changed at any time by making a request to the employer. The total donation amount for all employees involved for a specific pay period is then paid directly by the employers to WSPA.

Helping you, your company and animals

Workplace Giving benefits your business

By supporting Workplace Giving, your company shows its obvious interest in wider social issues, such as international animal welfare. It is a low-cost way to improve staff morale and loyalty and has the added benefit of making your business even more attractive to new employees. Value is added to your corporate profile, resulting in increased community approval and acceptance. Aside from being easy to set up, it is also one of the most cost-effective, ‘no hassle‘ ways your company can contribute to helping animals worldwide.

Workplace Giving benefits your employees

Most people find that giving through the payroll system is one of the most convenient ways to donate to their charity of choice. When an individual makes a donation, it usually comes from their ‘taxed‘ income. With Workplace Giving, employees get the benefit of giving ‘pre-tax‘, making the value of each dollar go even further. Employer-matched giving is also a great way to encourage your staff to become involved in Workplace Giving. When an employer matches employee donations dollar for dollar, the benefit for the animals also doubles.

Most importantly, Workplace Giving benefits animals in need

Workplace Giving is a great way of providing the time and the financial resources needed to find permanent solutions for many of the world’s animal welfare problems. By taking part, you and your company can help create real and lasting change for animals worldwide.
