Workplace giving allows employees to make donations to non-profits directly from their payroll. Employees are given a chance to support the community through workplace giving and companies are able to help make philanthropy a part of their corporate culture. This cooperative fundraising technique between non-profits and companies has proven to make a great impact in local communities.

For 20 years, the Asian Pacific Community Fund has been able to respond to the diverse needs of the API community because of funds raised to support this vital work. It is your support that allows the APCF and its Affiliate Agencies to help over 250,000 people in need each year throughout Los Angeles County.
 
Below are the top 10 benefits of donating through your employer's workplace giving program.

1. Your donation is tax-deductible.
2. Giving through payroll deduction is easy and convenient. Every pay period, a portion of your check - in any amount that you decide - is automatically deducted and sent to your charity.
3. It saves the charity money in overhead costs. This ensures that your donation has maximum impact.
4. You do not have to worry about keeping your receipts to claim your tax deduction if you donate less than $250 per paycheck. Copies of your pay stub and pledge card are needed for contributions of $250 or more per paycheck.
5. You can be confident that your donation is going to a charity that has been pre-screened according to the campaign's criteria and meets certain standards of management and responsibility. For employees, workplace giving enables affordable giving, through a transparent and trustworthy program.
6. Many companies match employee contributions doubling an employee's gift. Through your employer's matching gift program, your donation has an even greater impact.
7. It enables employees to work together for a common community purpose. It also improves work and life balances for employees.
8. It has been known to increase employee morale and foster team building by providing opportunities for positive employee involvement.
9. Employees are able to form lasting relationships with a charity hearing from them year after year. Giving at the workplace provides an easy way for employees to stay committed to a social cause and support it.
10. It's a simple and efficient way to give a little bit at a time while contributing in a big way to your community.
