Fundraising

Learn about the different ways you can support the Frankston Charitable Fund.

Workplace giving

You may choose to take part in a workplace-giving program through your employer and direct your donations to the Frankston Charitable Fund.

Workplace giving donations are deducted from your salary before tax, potentially reducing your taxable income. That means you receive a tax benefit immediately rather than having to wait until the end of the financial year. Contact your Payroll Officer to find out if you are eligible.
