PAYROLL GIVING The pundits tells us that the payroll
giving legislation is only days away
from enactment. Payroll giving will
allow willing employers and willing
employees to make regular donations
to charity before tax. The key
advantage to employees is that
they get an immediate tax break
rather than having to collect receipts
and claim at the end of the year.
Employee donations are limited only
by the amount of their paypacket. Charities have to have donee status
from the IRD to qualify. This is
different from registration with
the Charities Commission. A list
of organisations eligible is on the
IRD website – double check that
you are on it! Once the legislation is in place you
should make reference to payroll
giving as an option in any
communications you have with
the business sector and you should
invite your own employees to
participate in your own scheme.
If you are a volunteer, talk to your
employer about starting a scheme
in your workplace.

If you are contemplating fundraising for a really big ticket item like a sports development, a new building or a piece of medical equipment you know that you are not going to achieve it through sausage sizzles and celebrity auction dinners. Believe it or not, there is a "scientific" way of achieving major fundraising campaigns. By coming on this
course you will quickly
learn how the process
works, what preparation
you need before
engaging professional
assistance, what budget
you may require and
some of the traps and
pitfalls to avoid. You will discover that corporate sponsorship is only one part of your income. Whether you are a council chief executive seeking
income for council
driven projects or a fundraiser for a medical institute or a sports trust trustee, find out what makes a successful campaign right from the start. You will receive a examples of capital campaigns from New Zealand and a template to kick start your capital campaign.
