Workplace Giving Australia

What Workplace Giving Australia does

Workplace Giving Australia Limited (ABN 96 144 522 805) is an Australian private limited company that operates as a connector and infrastructure layer for workplace giving. It links three participant groups — employers, employees, and registered charities — through programs that enable pre-tax payroll donations and related giving mechanisms from the workplace. The organisation is registered at Ground Floor, 12 Holtermann Street, Crows Nest, NSW 2065, and operates exclusively within the Australian regulatory environment.

The organisation's core offerings revolve around facilitating donation flows and surrounding community engagement rather than a single software product. Its named sub-brands include One Million Donors (a donor-base growth initiative), ShareGift Australia (an extension covering micro-giving via fractional shareholdings), and the Australian Workplace Giving Awards (an annual recognition program). It also maintains a Public Library of educational and reference resources for employers, employees, and charities. A named charity partner is Redkite, a cancer-support organisation.

Workplace Giving Australia derives revenue from transaction fees on donation processing, with no public pricing schedule disclosed and customer engagement handled via direct contact. Its operating base and donor constituency are entirely within Australia. The company does not disclose headcount, revenue figures, or payment volume, and no funding rounds or capital raises are referenced in the available material.

Direct peers

• Benevity: Benevity is a leading corporate-purpose and workplace giving platform used globally by enterprises to enable employee donations, volunteering, and grants. It competes with WGA for Australian corporate accounts seeking scalable workplace-giving infrastructure.
• Good2Give: Good2Give is an Australian workplace giving platform that facilitates payroll-based donations from employees to registered charities. It is the most direct domestic competitor to Workplace Giving Australia, serving the same employer-employee-charity triumvirate in Australia.

Broad incumbents
