Givealittle says more could - and should - be done to capitalise on payroll giving to combat a drop in charitable donations. Three years ago New Zealand was ranked fifth on the World Giving Index - an annual report published by the Charities Aid Foundation. Last year the country dropped to 17th.
Givealittle says charities are doing it tough right now as donations drop in tighter economic times. But it says Kiwis who are inclined to be generous could make better use of payroll giving, which was introduced by IRD in 2010 and remains an underutilised means of donating to a charity.
To explain how it works and Givealittle's involvement in it, Kathryn is joined by its CEO Lythan Chapman.
