Next, you choose if you’d like to donate via Payroll, Gift Voucher or Credit Card.

Via Payroll Giving

If you are already logged in, you can elect to donate every pay cycle. Your donation pledge will now be set up in your Donation basket awaiting the date of your next pay cycle.

Via Credit Card

  1. Enter your credit card details and click add card to complete payment. A small credit card payment fee of 1% plus 10 cents is applied on top of the donation to ensure that all transaction charges are covered. At this point you may wish to donate an extra $2 or $5 donation to GoodCompany to support their services. This is purely optional.
  2. Note: You can tick the box “Securely save my card for future donations” to store your credit card details eliminating the need to re-enter each time or opt to use an already saved credit card.

Our partner, the Karma Currency Foundation does not charge the donor any administration fee at the time of donation. The only fee charged at the time of donation is to cover credit card charges. The fees are:

  • VISA and MASTERCARD 1% of donation amount plus 10 cents
  • AMEX 2% of donation amount plus 10 cents


Via Gift Voucher

Enter the voucher code and click apply. Please note that if the value of the voucher is less than the value of the donation, you will be asked to pay the difference via credit card and you will be entitled to a tax deduction for that amount.

Click Redeem Voucher.

How does it affect my tax?

Latitude Giving makes the donation process easier and more effective.

Payroll Giving

When you elect to donate via payroll giving, you can make a once off or regular donation from your pre-tax income, resulting in an automatic tax reduction. There's no need for you to worry about keeping receipts or to wait until the end of the financial year to obtain a tax benefit – the benefit is immediate through pre-tax giving.

You will receive a payment summary at the end of the financial year which will detail your donations. For more information on how this will affect your tax, visit the Australian Taxation Office website.

Credit Card

You will be invoiced a Tax Invoice at the time of your credit card donation and you will receive a payment summary at the end of each financial year. For more information on how this will affect your tax, visit the Australian Taxation Office website.
