How does it work

You simply authorise your employer to deduct a regular donation from your pre-tax salary. Your employer then remits your donation, together with others from your workplace, to SANE. In addition to employee donation some employers will gift-match to make an even bigger difference to the way SANE can plan and fund new projects involving our Helpline service.

At the end of each financial year your employer will provide you with a Donation Record Statement to assist with your annual tax return.
