Your employer may match your donation!
Many companies offer “workplace giving” programs that deduct a gift donation amount directly from paychecks for recurring giving. Your company may even match a percentage–or the entire–gift amount. Check with your company’s human resources department.
This is one of the easiest ways to contribute and you will make a difference every month. CONTACT US with questions.
Benefits of Workplace Giving:
-
- Convenience & Tax Benefits: You get the convenience of automatic payroll deductions without losing the tax benefits of charitable giving.
- Financially More Manageable: 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 to a charity, by the end of the year you will have donated $1,000 to LifeSpark!
- Matching Gifts: Some employers will offer to match your contributions up to a specified amount. This leverages your employer’s philanthropic support and maximizes your gift to LifeSpark and the cancer patients that we support.
- Cost-efficient and Sustainable Fundraising: Workplace giving is more cost-effective and efficient for LifeSpark than other fundraising methods. The cost of participating in a workplace giving campaign is far below the cost of a fundraising campaign. Your donation enables LifeSpark to spend more time and resources on services and programs.
- Convenience & Tax Benefits: You get the convenience of automatic payroll deductions without losing the tax benefits of charitable giving.

- Unrestricted Money: Your donation provides us with a sustainable, year-round source of funds. And because this money is ‘unrestricted,’ your donation provides LifeSpark with funds that enable us to decide how to best use that money and invest in our ability to deliver vital programs and services.
