About Workplace Giving
Workplace Giving is an efficient way for you to support Berry Street. Giving from your pre-tax income means donations cost less, your taxable income is reduced and Berry Street receives the full benefit of the donation. Simply choose the amount to donate from your salary, notify your employer and it will be deducted from your pay. You'll then receive an instant tax benefit with no need to collect donation receipts for tax returns, since donations are pre-tax.
When you donate $30 per pay:
In this example, Berry Street would receive an annual donation of $780 but it only costs you $527. Even better, if your employer dollar matches, this would increase to a $1,560 donation!
*Based on fortnightly contributions and an average income of $70,000 in FY20/21. Figures may differ depending on the tax year and your income bracket.
