The Australian Charities Fund Operations Limited

The Australian Workplace Giving Awards commenced in 2011 to celebrate the leadership and initiatives of employers and charities in promoting awareness of, and participation in, workplace giving.

An ACF initiative aimed at encouraging best practice in the implementation and promotion of workplace giving programs and partnerships, the awards offer employers and charities the opportunity to celebrate employee generosity, enhance the reputation of their organisations and grow recognition of workplace giving as an important and growing fundraising stream.

For awards purposes, workplace giving is defined as a program that allows employees to donate regularly from their pre-tax salary through their employer's payroll system to charities having deductible gift recipient status.

The Awards are open to all Australian employers operating a workplace giving program, and charities endorsed by the Australian Tax Office as a deductible gift recipient (DGR).

Why enter?

Success at the Australian Workplace Giving Awards is recognition your organisation is a leader in workplace giving.

Importantly for employers, these awards can be shared with your employees as a recognition and celebration of the difference their ongoing donations make in the community.

Winning entries are published as case studies to create a body of knowledge and insights to demonstrate and raise awareness of best practice workplace giving programs.

Winners of the inaugural Australian Workplace Giving Awards were announced in September 2011. The entry period for the next awards has not yet been announced.
