Give to Big Group Hug straight from your pay. You choose the amount, your employer sorts the rest, and children and families in crisis feel it.
Workplace Giving is an easy way to make a regular donation to Big Group Hug through your employer's payroll or giving platform. You choose how much to give from each pay, and your employer arranges it on your behalf. Because it comes out of your pre-tax pay, it can also reduce your tax bill. Small regular donations add up to make a real difference for children and families experiencing hardship or crisis.
When you give through payroll, your donation comes out of your pre-tax pay. That lowers your taxable income straight away, so you pay a little less tax with every gift.
Because the benefit is applied as you give, there are no receipts to keep and nothing to claim back at tax time. It is already done.
By giving $10 from your pay, you provide the full $10 of support, while your take-home pay may reduce by only around $7.*
*Your exact benefit depends on your income and tax rate.
Here is how small, regular giving adds up over a year.
Every gift helps us fill personalised care packs with the everyday essentials every child deserves.

Only around 1.5% of Australians donate through their workplace, even though most already give to charity. And while roughly 1 in 4 working Australians can access Workplace Giving, fewer than 5% take part.
A clear, well-run program closes that gap, and turns everyday goodwill into steady support for local children.
