For over 200 years, charities and not-for-profits have existed in Australia, and all that time, charitable giving has been a huge factor in enabling these organisations to do good work.
MTS is one of those organisations that rely on generous donors to enable the work that we do. One way we make it simple and beneficial for people to give is through Workplace Giving!
MTS is a charity partner with Workplace Giving Australia, which enables people to make one-off or ongoing donations to PRE-TAX, directly out of their pay.
What is Workplace Giving?
Workplace Giving is when you make a donation from your pre-tax pay. It’s a simple, and effective way to give to MTS. Becoming a partner through a Workplace Giving program is administratively and financially beneficial for the giver, and extremely powerful for the organisation! Ministry you believe in gets ongoing support, and you don’t carry the admin load of doing so. Once Workplace Giving is set up, it runs smoothly until you choose to change your arrangement.
In many organisations, Workplace Giving comes with an additional impact – MATCHING! Employers often match your charitable contribution dollar for dollar, making it an even more effective way to be a financial partner.
How do you start with Workplace Giving?
First, check if your company is part of the Workplace Giving Australia scheme. Organisations such as Westpac group, Foxtel and Qantas are all part of the scheme. If your company is a member, you simply need to speak to your employer about how you can easily give a recurring donation to MTS.
If your organisation isn’t part of Workplace Giving Australia, ask them about direct donations through work. Some companies have their own charitable scheme that enables Workplace Giving.
The role of given funds in the work of MTS
At MTS, the majority of our income comes from donations. Money given to MTS directly impacts our ability to serve trainers and apprentices, and in turn, be part of raising up gospel workers to serve God in Australia and around the world.
Your donations support:
- Effectively trained trainers who train quality apprentices to be ministry workers.
- Trainers to be freed up from admin to focus on training their apprentices with confidence.
- More pastors to become trainers who are raising up apprentices to train.
- And all the work in training, administration, events and more, that comes into enabling this impact!
The work of MTS plays a huge role in the ability and capacity of gospel workers to train new workers for the harvest. As we continue in our work, your generous support will make a real difference in cultivating and nurturing the next generation of gospel workers, as we continue this vital work together.
Please consider whether Workplace Giving is a way you can support the work God has entrusted us with.
