We have been asked by a number of members how they might donate to the Association on a regular basis. One way of doing this is through Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) Payroll Giving programs which allow employees the opportunity to make a significant and lasting impact on the work of their preferred not-for-profit organisations through a direct tax deductible donation from their pre-tax pay.
This system of giving provides a wide range of benefits to the employer, employees and the recipient not-for-profit organisations.
Charities Aid Foundation can assist employers in the implementation and development of payroll giving in the workplace and maintain all back-office administration to minimise costs for all parties, and to provide monthly grants to charities. More than 380 not-for-profit organisations, including the Association, are currently recipients of the program (June 2005). Funds are granted based on donor preference, which means that when an employee nominates a charity, validation checks are carried out and then funds are distributed monthly by CAF.
All programs must be endorsed by your employer. A good starting point is human resources, payroll department and those people managing your organisation's community programs.

We already have some members giving this way. If you or your employer would like more information visit the CAF website.
