Giving Sector Celebrates Workplace Giving Month Of June With New Theme “Small Change. Big Impact.”

Workplace Giving Australia welcomes Workplace Giving Month this June and invites all Australian employees, Managers and organisations to become involved with giving in the workplace to assist our much-loved charities and significantly impact communities locally, nationally and internationally.

This year’s theme is “Small Change. Big Impact.” where small dollar amounts, or small habits, when done collectively with your colleagues and employer at work, make a big impact. There are many ways to participate, including donating through work, volunteering, fundraising at work, and organisations matching donations dollar for dollar, all to make a difference to important charitable causes.

Workplace Giving Month promotes awareness to all Australian employees of the benefits of workplace giving and creates the expectation for employers to provide programs in the workplace. Workplace Giving Australia CEO David Mann said that engaging Australian workers to give through their place of work increases philanthropic giving, makes giving part of everyday life and supports communities within the workplace:

“Harnessing the combined power of corporate philanthropy with the 13.8 million strong Australian workforce has the strength to change the landscape not only for charities but for the community more broadly while making better workplaces for the workforce.” said Mann

Mr Mann comments: “With over 70% of employees reporting that they want to work for an organisation that supports charities, there are obvious benefits to employers who are genuinely wanting to create great places to work, enabling and promoting workplace giving benefits to the workers, the business, charities and the wider community.”

David goes on to say: “Increasing the uptake of workplace giving will expand donations and support to charities and build stronger communities while providing broader business and economic benefits. Ongoing investment in workplace giving will allow charities to adapt to significant challenges locally and internationally.”
