Employee Giving
Employee Giving, or Workplace Giving, is an easy and efficient way to make tax-deductible donations to Building Homes for Heroes, typically with donations taken directly out of your paycheck.
Benefits of Workplace Giving:Â
- Convenience & Tax Benefits:Â You get the convenience of automatic payroll deductions without losing the tax benefits of charitable giving.
- Financially More Manageable:Â Â By having a smaller amount of money deducted from your paycheck throughout the year, you can donate a larger amount of money and have a greater impact overall. For example, if you get paid biweekly (26 times throughout the year) and you pledge $38.50 of each paycheck, by the end of the year you will have donated $1,000!
- Matching Gifts:Â Some employers will offer to match your contributions up to a specified amount. Â This leverages your employer's philanthropic support and maximizes your gift to the causes you care about.
- Cost-efficient and Sustainable Fundraising:Â Workplace giving is more cost-effective and efficient for charities to raise funds than other fundraising methods. The cost of participating in a workplace giving campaign is far below the cost that would be incurred if participating charities had to launch any type of campaign to try to raise an equal amount of money. Your donation enables more time and resources to be spent on services and programs rather than elaborate fundraising.
- Unrestricted Money:Â Your donation provides a sustainable, year-round source of funds. And because this money is 'unrestricted', your donation provides funds that enable us to decide how to best use that money and invest in our ability to deliver vital programs and services.
