Workplace GivingBecoming involved in our workplace giving program is a simple, easy and affordable way of supporting Chapel by the Sea. You can become an active member of this program by donating through your employer’s payroll system from as little as $5 a week.
What is workplace giving at Chapel by the Sea? Workplace giving is a program that enables you to donate small amounts to Chapel by the Sea on a regular basis, through your employer’s payroll department. Each pay period you can nominate to donate a small amount to Chapel by the Sea. Your employer will collect this and pass the donation on to Chapel by the Sea. It’s simple, it’s easy, and small amounts make a huge difference to what we do. Will my employer also donate? Many companies with a workplace giving program will also provide matched donations up to a maximum amount. This means that for every dollar you donate to Chapel by the Sea your employer will also donate a dollar - doubling your contribution to what we do. We encourage you to check your employer’s policy on matched giving. How do I get involved? There are some simple steps to get involved in workplace giving: 1. Ask your employer if they have a workplace giving program 2. Register for workplace giving at your organisation 3. Nominate Chapel by the Sea as your preferred charity 4. Select the amount per pay period you would like to contribute 5. Stay in touch with us! What if my employer does not have a workplace giving program? Start one!

What will my donation go towards? Your regular donations will make a huge difference to what we do at Chapel by the Sea. Your donations will go towards funding the provision of services. This includes funding the Norman Andrews House, Chapel events, the Iluka Childcare Centre and North Bondi Kindergarten. The workplace giving program allows us to receive donations as a lump sum from each employer, so we save on much of the administration costs of fundraising meaning that your donations go directly to providing services. What are the tax implications of giving through my employer? Donations through workplace giving are tax deductable and generally the deduction is made at the time of giving, as donations reduce your gross taxable income. Check out the Australian Taxation Office (www.ato.gov.au) for more information on the tax implications of contributing through workplace giving. What are the benefits for my employer?
