What is Workplace Giving?
In workplace giving programs an employer provides their employees with the opportunity to designate a portion of their regular paycheck to a non-profit agency or agencies of their choice. Generally, employers will work with one or more workplace giving federation, such as Community Shares of Southern Arizona, which is comprised of a number of non-profits under their umbrella.The federation helps to conduct the campaign, provides presentations and materials, and information on payroll processing.
Workplace giving allows employees an easy and efficient way to donate to causes and organizations that match their personal values and meet local needs. A donation of just $3 a week becomes over $150 a year in funding to help crucial efforts in the local community.
