Workplace giving 
 for employees 

A little contribution from each pay makes a massive difference for native animals.

Workplace Giving is one of the simplest and most cost-effective ways for workplaces to make a difference for sick, injured, and orphaned wildlife. All gifts over $2 made through Workplace Giving are tax-deductible within Australia and support WIRES wildlife rescue and care work that assists tens of thousands of native animals every year.

By supporting WIRES through Workplace Giving, you will help:

Benefits for employees

Workplace Giving donations are deducted from your pre-tax salary giving you the benefit of reducing your taxable income immediately and stretching your donation dollars further.

  • You can donate as much or as little as you like.
  • Payments are deducted automatically, and you can opt-out anytime.
  • Your company may agree to match your donation which would double your impact.
  • We will send you special monthly updates on the rescues that you are helping us make happen (with your permission of course)
