Swinburne’s Staff Giving program enables you to contribute to Swinburne initiatives using automatic pre-tax payroll deductions. As an employee, you have the option to set up regular donations of your chosen amount to specific areas each pay cycle.
Even modest fortnightly contributions can accumulate into a substantial impact over time, generating meaningful change in student lives and Swinburne’s for-purpose research agenda. There are no concealed fees – every cent of your payroll donation will be directed entirely to your selected fund for high impact giving.
Small Effort, Big Impact
$12.02 donation = $8.11 net cost
Workplace giving is the easiest and most cost effective way to support Swinburne students and research. Giving through your pre-tax salary means it costs you less, but Swinburne still receives your total donation. E.g., if you earn more than $50,000 and give $12.02 to Swinburne per fortnight, the net cost of the donation is only $8.11. Source: Donation tax calculator.
$6 Coffee per week = 100+ Scholarships
Fun fact: If every Swinburne Staffer (3,250) donated just the cost of 1 large flat white coffee per week ($6), we could collectively raise over $1m annually, providing 100+ scholarships with wrap-around support. Source: Coffee Price Index.
