Staff Workplace Giving program

Through their donations, many staff at Flinders University play a vital role in supporting students in financial need and expanding opportunities for our world-class researchers to make new discoveries.

Change lives today by supporting an initiative meaningful to you and know that every dollar of your donation goes directly to helping students or the research area you choose.

Join our pre-tax Staff Workplace Giving program or make a tax-deductible donation.

You will receive updates on how your support is making a difference, along with invitations to the annual Impact of Giving and Staff Donor Thank You events. And your generosity will be recognised on the annual Staff Donor Honour Roll sign and the community-wide Donor Honour Roll.

Through Staff Workplace Giving you can set up an automated fortnightly, pre-tax (salary sacrifice) donation via your pay – which reduces your taxable income.

The amount you choose to donate will immediately reduce your taxable income without impacting the way gross income, superannuation guarantee payments or fringe benefits are calculated.

A great advantage of a pre-tax donation is that the real cost to you will be less than the donation amount you have nominated. See the drop down table below for the 'cost to you' amounts.

Staff Workplace Giving form

Sign up today by emailing your form to giving@flinders.edu.au. Your request will be actioned in the next payroll deadline and automated each fortnight.
