What you can do as an Individual

People who give not only feel great, but recent research also suggests that giving significantly improves physical health, death is delayed and depression is reduced*.

Many question the fast pace our society appears to move at, with much social debate regarding where our society is heading when caring for each other.  Philanthropy provides individuals with a tool for active engagement in the community and a measureable step in the journey towards the goal of meaningful change.

Individuals can help in the following ways:

 

Workplace Giving:

Workplace Giving is a program that allows an employee to regularly donate to their charity of choice  through their employer’s automated payroll system. 

Workplace giving donations can be made pre-tax through each pay reducing how much tax you need to pay – giving you an immediate tax deduction.

Individual employees determine how much they would like to contribute each pay period.  The amount donated through workplace giving can be altered or stopped by the contributor at any time.  Employers can also choose to match their employees contributions or to contribute a specific amount.
