WORKPLACE GIVING (Payroll giving)

Going Purple for Purple day and hosting an activity at work is a fun way to promote workplace giving.

Workplace giving is an easy and cost-effective way for your organisation to help support people living with Epilepsy. It’s also a great way to build team morale, and to demonstrate to clients and suppliers that you are committed to Epilepsy New Zealand's work.

Organisations involved in this type of giving typically make a commitment to promote workplace giving to their staff. Many organisations also choose to match the donations made by their employees . Hosting a Purple day activity is one way to promote this.

Once a staff member has indicated they would like to support Epilepsy New Zealand through workplace giving, regular donations are automatically deducted from their pre-tax salary via your payroll system. Your staff can decide the amount they would like to donate.

Workplace giving is simple to administer, and gives your employees tax advantages. It can also provide Epilepsy New Zealand with a stable stream of support, so it’s a great way to help support our work.

To find out how you can get your organisation involved in workplace giving, please contact us  national@epilepsy.org.nz or 0800 37 45 37.
