Payroll Giving
Payroll Giving enables employees to donate money to registered non-profit organisations through their organisation's payroll. This initiative provides tax and administrative benefits for employees while giving them the opportunity to "make a difference" to their chosen charity by donating directly from their pay.
How does Payroll Giving work?
Payroll Giving allows employees to receive immediate tax benefits from their donations each payday. The amount of the tax credit on payroll donations is 33.33 cents for each dollar. For example, a $30 monthly donation to your favourite charity only takes about $20 out of your pay packet.
How can you make a difference?
For both employees and employers payroll giving provides the opportunity to make a difference to the lives of blind and partially sighted New Zealanders.
The Royal New Zealand Foundation of the Blind is:
- A national organisation with a strong service delivery
- A long-established, trusted organisation that's been a part of New Zealand's history for 120 years
- Helping over 11,500 members
- Recognised as one of the most worthwhile New Zealand charities*
