Payroll or workplace giving is one of the simplest and cost effective ways of supporting our work. Workplace giving enables you as an employee to make a difference in the community through regular donations from your pre-tax pay to Redkite.How does it work?As an employee By donating through your payroll, you can support Redkite and obtain the tax benefit immediately, rather than applying at the end of the year. On each pay, your nominated donation amount is deducted from your salary, before deducting your tax so the benefit to you is immediate.
The Redkite champion in your workplace will send you updates on how your donations are helping families. Or sign up for our e-newsletter here.

Company Matching Gifts Program Companies can enhance their own staff’s workplace giving program by electing to implement a matching gift program. This is an incentive for the company’s staff to donate through a company workplace giving program, and help raise more funds for Redkite.
