Workplace giving programs are increasingly popular with medium sized and larger businesses as a platform for both employees and employers to engage in tax deductible charitable giving. Workplace giving – sometimes called payroll giving – allows an employee to give a set amount from each paycheck to the charity of their choice or from a previously vetted list of charities the company has chosen to support. Very often, companies will match charitable giving up to a certain amount and/or offer a charitable donation for volunteer hours worked at a charity.
Please check with your Human Resources department to inquire whether your employer has a Workplace Giving program.
