Workplace Giving
Workplace giving is a simple and tax effective way for employees to make regular donations. These donations will help us reach our goal to provide 10 million items and services to Australians in need by 2025.
Thanks to your organisation’s workplace giving program and your employees’ generous support, GIVIT can ensure that Australians experiencing hardship receive the essential items and services they need, when they need them most.
Workplace giving is a win-win-win for businesses, employees and charities
- For businesses, workplace giving is a smart way to demonstrate a commitment to corporate social responsibility by making an investment in your community.
- For employees, workplace giving provides an opportunity to contribute to genuine social impact.
- As a charity, GIVIT relies on generous donations from big-hearted Australians. You can make a big difference to the lives of Aussies doing it tough by donating a small part of your pre-tax pay.
The impact of your donation
Since 2009, GIVIT has provided more than 8 million essential items and services to Aussies in need via our national network of more than 4,700 charities and community organisations. Here is the impact your valuable donations make:
Relief
Your donation ensures GIVIT can source and provide essential items and services to Aussies experiencing hardship.
We provide groceries for people experiencing homelessness, whitegoods for families escaping domestic and family violence, construction services for people rebuilding after disaster, and much more.
Collaboration
Your donation ensures GIVIT can provide a completely free service to more than 4,800 charities across Australia.
We work collaboratively with small grassroots charities run solely by volunteers, through to organisations with a national presence.
By providing essential items and services for their clients, we're enabling our charity partners to spend their valuable and limited human and financial resources on frontline service provision.
Reuse
Your donation ensures GIVIT can redirect gently-used personal items and excess corporate stock from landfill and into the hands of Aussies in need.
When a disaster strikes, GIVIT strives to ensure that well-intentioned but unneeded donations aren't sent to overwhelmed communities where they are unable to be sorted, stored or used - and often end up in landfill. We're reducing landfill, contributing to the circular economy and supporting Aussies in need.
Reach
Your donation ensures GIVIT can provide a transparent, effective, nationwide online platform for the donation of funds, time, skills, new goods or gently used items.
By providing a range of ways to give, and the ability to see the real and urgent needs of people who require support, we're ensuring that - regardless of location and no matter why they find themselves doing it tough - Aussies in need get what they need, when they need it.
