Payroll Giving
Employee Giving enables you donate directly from your pay and receive instant tax benefits. It’s an effortless way to give regularly to medical research, while also ensuring you get the tax rebates you’re entitled to.
Employee Giving
Every time you get paid, you have a chance to change lives. With Employee Giving, a small part of your pay goes directly to life-saving medical research—and you receive immediate tax benefits in return. It’s an easy, powerful way to make a real difference, week after week.
When you support the Canterbury Medical Research Foundation (CMRF), you’re helping fund critical research into illnesses that affect thousands of Kiwis and their loved ones. Your kindness fuels discoveries that improve treatments, extend lives, and bring hope to families across Aotearoa.
How Payroll Giving Works
It’s simple and rewarding. Your donation is taken straight from your pay before it hits your bank account. And here’s the best part: you get a third of your donation back instantly as a tax credit.
So if you give $15, your take-home pay only drops by $10—but you’re still making the full $15 impact.
Unlike other types of donations, there’s no waiting until the end of the tax year. You see the benefit right away.
Why Your Gift Matters
Behind every donation is a story—a child battling a chronic illness, a parent hoping for a breakthrough, a grandparent cherishing more time with family.
By supporting CMRF, you’re standing beside the researchers, the doctors, and the everyday New Zealanders fighting life-limiting conditions. Your generosity helps turn medical challenges into medical progress.
Together, we’re not just funding research.
We’re funding hope.
