June is Workplace Giving Month in Australia, a key moment for companies to rally employees around giving and drive meaningful impact together.
Much like Giving Tuesday, Workplace Giving Month creates a focused moment in time to engage your workforce, spotlight your charity partners, and encourage collective action. The difference? Workplace giving has the power to create ongoing impact long after June ends.
Workplace Giving Month is a time to “Maximise Your Impact” — encouraging organisations to think creatively about how they can increase participation, donations, and employee engagement across their workplace giving programs.
For companies looking to activate their communities during June, here are a few proven campaign ideas:
Launch a matching campaign
Matching remains one of the strongest motivators for employee participation. Consider introducing:
Dollar-for-dollar donation matching
Time-bound “double your donation” campaigns
Team or department giving challenges
Even a short campaign window can create urgency and significantly increase participation.
Show where the money goes
Participation drops when giving feels abstract. The fix is straightforward: share specific outcomes from your charity partners, let employees who already give speak to why they do, and make the cumulative impact of your program visible. People give more when they can see what giving actually does.
Spotlight impact stories
Employees are more likely to give when they can see and feel the impact. Share:
Stories from charity partners
Employee giving testimonials
Real outcomes made possible through donations
Storytelling helps turn workplace giving from a transaction into a movement.
Create a clear call to action
Successful Workplace Giving Month campaigns make participation simple:
“Donate today” "Activate your workplace giving account” “Join the matching campaign before EOY”
Simple, visible CTAs help convert awareness into action.
Build momentum throughout June
Workplace Giving Month works best when it’s treated as a campaign moment, not a one-off email. Think:
Weekly reminders
LinkedIn and internal social posts
Employee champion spotlights
Leadership participation
At Goodstack, we’re excited to support organisations across Australia during Workplace Giving Month and help more companies turn employee generosity into long-term impact.
June is the perfect time to activate your workforce, amplify giving, and maximise your impact.
