Most workplace giving is a one-way line item: payroll deducts, charity receives, the cycle ends. Benefund turns that same dollar into permanent charitable capital — capital that keeps giving long after the contribution.
Workplace giving programmes are abundant. Programmes employees genuinely engage with are rare. Benefund earns engagement because every dollar your team gives keeps working, indefinitely.
Every contribution your team makes becomes permanent capital. The charitable yield it generates compounds — meaning a $50 donation today gives forever, not once.
Contributions come from after-tax payroll, not pre-tax salary sacrifice. That means no Fringe Benefits Tax exposure for you, and contributions remain tax-deductible for your team.
Add Benefund to payroll once. Your team self-onboards. Contributions flow automatically. Quarterly reporting and ATO receipts are issued without you lifting a finger.
Match your team's contributions dollar-for-dollar — and watch your match multiply 1.5× over 30 years through compounding yield. Your CSR budget goes further.
Live dashboards show pool value, employee participation, total yield distributed, and impact across causes. Real numbers for your CSR report, your investor deck, and your team.
Co-branded employee onboarding, your match policy surfaced clearly, and a portal that reflects your company's values. Optional white-label available at Enterprise tier.
A simple integration that becomes invisible the moment it's running. Here's the full lifecycle of a contribution, from the first payslip to the first quarterly distribution.
One short agreement covers integration, your matching policy (if any), reporting cadence, and admin contacts. Most clients are signed within a week.
Add a single after-tax deduction line in your payroll system. We provide the technical specs for Xero, MYOB, ADP, and most major systems. Setup typically takes one engineering hour.
We send your employees a co-branded invite. They open a Benefund in minutes, choose their charities and contribution amount, and we sync the deduction directly with your payroll system.
Every payday, employee contributions (and your match) flow into their individual funds. Funds are pooled for institutional investment management, individually tracked for each employee.
Each quarter, yield from every employee's fund is distributed to their chosen charities. ATO gift receipts are issued automatically. Your dashboard updates in real time.
Pull live data for your CSR, ESG, or impact reports anytime. Your team's funds keep growing and giving — through tenure, after they leave, for life.
Most workplace giving programmes try to use salary sacrifice — but the ATO treats this as a Fringe Benefit. Benefund avoids that trap entirely by routing contributions from after-tax payroll to DGR-endorsed charities.
Every Benefund partner charity is endorsed as a Deductible Gift Recipient under Australian tax law. Distributions are categorised as gifts to DGR organisations and remain tax-deductible to the contributing employee.
Three tiers, scaling with your team size and feature needs. No setup fees. Annual contracts. Cancel anytime with 30 days' notice.
Everything an emerging team needs to launch a workplace giving programme that builds permanent charitable capital.
For organisations ready to make charitable compounding a meaningful part of their employer brand. Match policies, deeper reporting, dedicated support.
For organisations building philanthropy into their long-term identity. White-label options, custom investment strategies, full integration.
A modest management fee of 0.85% per annum applies to assets under management. This is the only ongoing cost beyond the employer subscription, and it's how Benefund covers investment management, custody, and platform operations. There are no performance fees and no hidden costs.
Contributions to Benefund are deducted from after-tax payroll, not pre-tax salary. Because employees are donating their own (already-taxed) money to DGR-endorsed charities, no fringe benefit is created. The employer faces zero FBT exposure, and employees retain their full personal tax deduction on the gift.
Benefund integrates as a standard after-tax deduction line. We provide configuration guides for Xero, MYOB, ADP, KeyPay/Employment Hero, NetSuite, and most enterprise payroll platforms. For systems not on our standard list, our integration team will work directly with yours — typical setup is one engineering hour or less.
The fund is theirs. They take it with them. Their contributions and any vested employer match remain in their fund and continue to grow and distribute to their chosen charities indefinitely. Departing employees experience no disruption — they simply continue contributing personally if they wish.
Yes — at Growth and Heritage tiers. You can configure dollar-for-dollar matching, percentage-based matching (e.g. 50¢ per $1), monthly or annual caps, eligibility rules (tenure thresholds, employment type), and vesting schedules. We help you model the cost and impact during onboarding.
Employer matches are direct gifts to DGR-endorsed charities — fully tax-deductible to your business. We provide a single annualised tax statement covering all matched contributions across your team.
A live dashboard showing pool value, employee participation rates, total quarterly yield, total cumulative giving, breakdown by cause and charity, and individual fund balances (anonymised at lower tiers, identified at Enterprise). All exportable in formats compatible with most CSR, ESG, and B-Corp reporting frameworks.
Yes. Benefund operates under an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL). Investment management is conducted by qualified, licensed professionals under full ASIC oversight. All charity partners are registered with the ACNC and endorsed as DGRs by the ATO.
From signed agreement to first employee onboarding is typically two to three weeks. The bulk of that time is your internal change management — payroll integration itself is fast. Larger Enterprise rollouts can take six to eight weeks for proper change management and communications.
