Workplace Giving

Workplace Giving is a federal government initiative which allows staff to make regular charitable donations to eligible charities through the payroll. In order to receive payments under this kind of program the organisation must be a deductible gift recipient (DGR).  A number of changes to payroll giving arrangements have meant that participating staff can now receive the tax benefits of their charitable donations immediately without having to wait until the end of the financial year or needing to hold on to receipts.

The University covers the administration costs, allowing 100% of every donation made by staff to be received by the nominated charity.

Monash will reduce the amount of Pay as you Go tax to be withheld, based on the donation amount. As a result most staff will get a tax benefit in their pay every time they donate. Whilst the taxable gross on the payment summary, at the end of the financial year will not show a reduced taxable income commensurate to the amount donated, it will have a separate line showing the aggregate donation made under the Workplace Giving program.

In implementing the workplace giving program within Monash, the University has partnered with charities who share strategic relationships which benefit the learning and research vision of the organisation. Oxfam Australia is one such organisation.  Monash aims to establish other strategic relationships in the future.
