Benefits of Work Place Giving

 

Benefits to employees

Workplace giving instills a great sense of personal satisfaction at the valuable role in supporting vital services and agencies across Geelong and also increases awareness of community needs, resources and services and provides contact with business and community leaders.
Workplace giving is effortless, yet your donation you will be improving the quality of life for thousands. Aside from the knowledge that you will be helping over sixty health and human care organisations, there is also an added incentive, with E & S Trading providing a $1500 shopping spree which everyone, who signs up to make a regular donation to United Way or increases a current regular donation during campaign 2006 will go into the draw for!

Benefits to employers

The number of companies that support United through workplace giving continues to grow, and each can feel proud that their support, and that of their employees, makes a significant difference in the lives of many in Geelong.

• Getting your organisation involved in charity is a highly effective way of increasing staff morale and loyalty.
• Supporting United Way demonstrates an organisation’s commitment to the community to a wide range of people, including its clients, employees, associates, business partners and friends.
• Administration commitment is minimal due to efficient donor management by United Way
• Only one payment per pay cycle is required for all Workplace Giving donations. This minimises time and resource demand on internal payroll teams.

Benefits to our community

Workplace giving donations are passed on to over seventy United Way community partners. These community partners come from such areas as aged care, crisis counselling and disability services. Without the contributions from United Way, projects would go unrealised and there would be a reduction of health and human care options in our community. Your support is vital to the success of United Way and the community we serve!

In the last campaign year, $810,000 was donated via Workplace Giving, also known as payroll deduction, making United Way Geelong one of Australia’s leading workplace giving recipients. Their contributions are paramount in helping United Way to continue our mission to make Geelong a better place to live.
