The 2022 Australian Workplace Giving Awards celebrate the most outstanding workplace giving programs across the country.
Workplace giving is a joint relationship between employers, employees, and charities with one main goal – supporting causes and communities in need. The programs are continuing to evolve and we will be celebrating all forms of workplace giving from pre-tax payroll giving programs, to innovative charity and employer partnerships, employee-nominated grants programs, and more.
No matter what your workplace giving program looks like, we encourage you to apply to the 7th annual Workplace Giving Awards. The Awards are a great way to create an overall sense of achievement across your organisation while inspiring stakeholders and instilling pride in your employees. Read more about the benefits of entering the Awards.
The Awards are judged by a panel of independent thought leaders and champions of workplace giving. Chaired by Wendy Scaife, the judges represent a variety of sectors, with representatives from EnergyAustralia, The Smith Family, Philanthropy Australia, Volunteering Australia, B4SI, and the Foundation for Rural and Regional Renewal.
