Saving hearts through workplace giving

Together at work, we can help end the heartache caused by heart disease

Workplace giving is a simple and tax-effective way to make regular donations to a cause that matters.

By giving through work, people can make a real difference in the lives of those affected by heart disease – even the smallest donations can lead to lasting change.

Every dollar donated supports the Heart Foundation and helps fund life-saving research and programs to improving heart health for all people living in Australia.

Workplace givers are in great company

Many organisations across Australia are helping to drive real change through workplace giving. By supporting the Heart Foundation through your workplace, you’re helping to save lives and create a healthier future for all. It’s a simple way to make a powerful difference.

Your generosity can make a difference in the fight against heart disease by helping to:

  • fund high-impact research, supporting emerging and leading heart health researchers
  • support health professionals in their work to prevent, diagnose and manage heart disease
  • build community awareness about living a heart-healthy lifestyle through public health awareness campaigns, accessible information and resources.

Benefits of workplace giving

Workplace giving creates a meaningful partnership between employers, employees, and the Heart Foundation. Together, we can help save more lives.
