Please include "donation" in the reference field and provide your contact details to Dawa Devereux (E: info@artsaccess.org.nz T: 04 802 4349) so we can say thank you and issue your donation receipt.

Payroll giving

How it works: if your employer offers a payroll giving scheme, choose the organisation/s you would like to support from the IRD list of approved donee organisations. Your employer deducts the money on your behalf and passes it onto the organisation.

For every dollar you donate you get 33.33 cents back as a tax credit, reducing the amount of PAYE or withholding tax you pay. Even better, you don't need to do anything at the end of the tax year as you've already received the tax credits.

How to get started:

1. Check with your employer if they offer payroll giving

2. Check the organisation is on the IRD approved list (yes, Arts Access Aotearoa is on the list!)

3. Let your employer or payer know:

• the name of the organisation (Arts Access Aotearoa Whakahauhau Katoa o Hanga Charitable Trust)
• the organisation's bank account number (03-0502-0040862-00)
• how much you want to donate
• when you want to donate
