Cause Related Marketing Cause-related marketing (CRM) is defined as the public association of a for-profit company with a non-profit organization, intended to promote the company's product or service and to raise money for the non-profit. CRM is generally considered to be distinct from corporate philanthropy because the corporate dollars involved in CRM are not outright gifts, hence not tax-deductible.
CRM has become a world-wide trend, driven by consumers' choice to support socially responsible companies. With social and environmental issues top of mind, many of today's customers make purchasing decisions based on a company's reputation and organisational ethos.
Australia has embraced the charitable concept of CRM in the past decade in response to the constant challenge of developing brand loyalty in today's competitive marketplace. In addition to the value successful CRM can add to your brand and corporate image in the eyes of the customer, your alignment with a cause can also work to boost employee morale and loyalty, making you a preferred employer.
The Benefits of Cause Related Marketing can include:
• Enhanced public perception of your brand • Increased sales • Positive media coverage • Creation of a unique selling point over your competitors • Strong incentives for consumers to switch to your brand • Increased long-term customer loyalty • Improved relationships with supply chain and retailers • Improved employee morale and loyalty

Pro Bono Pro bono publico (usually shortened to pro bono) is a phrase derived from Latin meaning "for the public good." The term is sometimes used to describe professional work undertaken voluntarily and without payment as a public service. It is common in the legal profession and is increasingly seen in marketing, technology, and strategy consulting firms. Pro bono service, unlike traditional volunteerism, uses the specific skills of professionals to provide services to those who are unable to afford them.

Workplace Giving What is workplace giving?
Workplace giving is a program that lets employees donate money on a regular basis to one or more charities. The charity must be a deductible gift recipient (DGR) which means that donations to the charity are gift deductible for taxation purposes. SU Qld is a deductible gift recipient.
Can anyone donate to charities through their payroll?
Your employer must have a workplace giving program in place. Any employer who has one or more staff may start a workplace giving program.
How can I start workplace giving in my workforce?
Your employer must agree and put in place some simple steps. Employers should look at the Guide to Workplace Giving or call 13 28 66.
Can I make a donation anytime I like?
No, workplace giving operates through your payroll system. So if you get paid weekly you must donate weekly. Someone who gets paid monthly must donate monthly.
Is there a minimum or maximum amount I can donate?
No, but your employer can set some rules around workplace giving. Some employers may set a minimum of $2 per pay; others may have no minimum or maximum amount you can donate. But remember that donations must be $2 or more to be tax deductible.
Will everyone who donates get a tax benefit each time they donate?
Most people who make a donation will see a tax benefit in their pay. If you donate only a small amount you may not get a tax benefit until you claim your donations though your tax return.
I notice I pay less tax now that I donate through workplace giving. Does this mean I don’t need to claim the amount I have donated in my tax return?
Everyone who donates through a workplace giving program must claim the total amount of donations in their tax return. You must do this regardless of whether you have been getting pay day tax benefits for your donations. Your employer will let you know how much you have donated over the year in some written form or it will be printed on your payment summary (group certificate).
Whose responsibility is it to check that the charity I donate to is a deductible gift recipient (ie donations are tax deductible)?
Your employer must check that all the charities in their own workplace giving program are deductible gift recipients. They check this by visiting www.abr.business.gov.au and looking up the Australian Business Register (ABR).
If my office has a workplace giving program in place will I have to donate?
No, workplace giving programs are entirely voluntary you do not have to donate to a charity through your payroll.
Who chooses what charities I can donate to in a workplace giving program?
Employers and employees should agree on which charities take part in any workplace giving program.
Can I stop my donation at any time?
Your employer will usually set some rules around workplace giving. Some may ask you to commit to six months of donations because more frequent changes can become expensive to administer.
Can I donate to more than one charity?
Yes, you can donate to as many charities offered in your program as you like.
Will my personal contact details be supplied to the charities concerned?
No charity should receive any details identifying individual donors without the written permission of donors. The charities will receive a bulk deposit each payday.
If I participate, how will I know what my money is being used for?
The advantage of workplace giving programs is that the charities receive regular income but don’t have to issue individual receipts, saving time and money. So the charities incur little or no administration costs and 100% of donations go directly to the charity.
Employers should ask charities to provide regular feedback on how donations are being expended and pass on this information to employees making donations (and all employees for their information).
Where can I get more information about workplace giving?
Look at the Guide to Workplace Giving or call 13 28 66.
