Workplace Giving
Welcome to the Team, we’re delighted to have you on board!
As you settle in, we’d like to share the real challenges many children in Australia are facing: 1 in 6 children and young people are living in poverty, and 1 in 3 children cannot read proficiently. These challenges have a lasting impact on a child’s education and future opportunities.
At Dymocks Children’s Charities, we are committed to making a difference. Through our three core literacy programs—Book Bank, Library Regeneration, and Lit Club 4 Kids—we support children in disadvantaged communities by providing the resources they need to develop a lifelong love of reading.
Our mission focuses on supporting the bottom 25% of schools across Australia, working directly with some of the country’s most vulnerable communities.
One impactful way you can contribute is by joining our Workplace Giving Program.
Workplace Giving—also known as Payroll Giving—is a simple, tax-effective way to support Dymocks Children's Charities through regular donations directly from your pre-tax salary. This means your donation provides immediate tax benefits, making it cost less for you to give more.
Your contribution—no matter the size—makes a meaningful difference. Whether it's $5 or $50, every dollar helps us continue our work in changing the lives of children through literacy.
Dymocks has proudly supported Dymocks Children’s Charities since its inception. Established in 2000 by Dymocks Chairman John Forsyth, the charity has worked with communities across Australia to improve children’s literacy—positively impacting the lives of over 555,000 children to date.
Together, our partnership continues to grow stronger, united by a shared belief in the power of reading to change lives. We look forward to continuing this important journey—with you by our side.
Thank you for being part of something that truly matters.
