Workplace giving
Imagine if you could help employ an anti-poaching patrol unit to protect Sumatran Tigers, Sumatran Orangutans and Asian Elephants in the wild.
You can.
Perth Zoo is now seeking ongoing donations from businesses and employees through a workplace giving program. Workplace giving is an easy and efficient way of supporting Wildlife Conservation Action and the threatened species it supports.
Not only is it an easy way to give, you have the knowledge that you are supporting species in desperate need of help.
Workplace giving is a simple and effective method of making regular donations to a nominated fund. You pledge an amount of your choice and your donation is automatically deducted from your pay and forwarded to the nominated fund. The best part is that your donations are taken out before tax which means that a deduction of $20 from pre-tax earnings may only cost you $14 (assuming a marginal tax rate of 40%).
Your regular donations through workplace giving will contribute to the conservation of several species in the wild including Sumatran Orangutans, Sumatran Tigers, Sumatran Elephants, Silvery Gibbons, New Guinea Tree Kangaroo, African Painted Dog, Sun Bear, native species and frogs.
Perth Zoo covers the administration costs for Wildlife Conservation Action which means that 100% of your donation goes to conservation projects.
If you would like more information about workplace giving in support of Perth Zoo’s Wildlife Conservation Action, contact the Corporate Relations Coordinator at Perth Zoo on (08) 9474 0339 or download a Workplace Giving Form.
