Workplace Giving - What is it?

Workplace giving is a tax effective form of monetary giving, where regular salary deductions are made through the payroll system to community organizations with Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status. 

The employees’ donations are deducted before tax is calculated, so a tax benefit is received every time the employee donates.  Employees do not need to keep tax receipts or wait to claim donations with annual tax returns.
