Boost employee engagement and retention while cultivating a positive workplace culture through the Great Barrier Reef Foundation's impactful workplace giving program.
Workplace giving empowers your team to actively support the restoration and protection of the Reef, creating a sense of pride, responsibility, and personal investment in this vital work.
This program enables your staff to make a meaningful impact by contributing a portion of their pre-tax salary to support vital projects that restore coral and coastal habitats, protecting these unique ecosystems and the wildlife that relies on them.
In addition, your organisation can match your employees’ donations to increase impact and foster a culture of shared purpose.
