Payroll giving + investment fund = win win win

The Team from Momentum Waikato

Coupling IRD’s Payroll Giving scheme with a philanthropic investment fund has been a ‘win win win’ for a Waikato engineering firm, its employees and the social service providers they’ve supported.

Longveld started up its fund in 2019 at Momentum Waikato, their local community foundation, and ever since has dollar-for-dollar matched their team’s donations towards it.

Payroll Giving takes the agreed donations out of pay packets in the same manner as income tax or student loan repayments, with the tax on the donation being able to be claimed back at tax return time.

Once a year the team votes on where to grant a portion of the fund’s income, which Managing Director Pam Roa describes as “a fun process”.

“Our payroll giving and funding vote brings together our support team and our trade crew for a common purpose unrelated to work,” says Pam.

Longveld fabricated Ngaa Pou Karohirohi (pictured) on Hamilton’s city river jetty, a project led by artist Eugene Kara, Ngaati Korokii Kahukura, in collaboration with local hapuu representatives.

Here in Sydney we're in the midst of a cold snap. Food-wise, soups are one of the most popular winter meals for chilly nights. They’re warm, simple, nourishing and oh-so-satisfying. And they’re healthy too. Creating a homemade soup can increase your intake of veggies, water and fibre which can help relieve that sluggish feeling that often accompanies the colder weather.
It’s so easy to zoodle your way through winter with these two delicious zoodle soups! They’re just like grandma used to make, only upcycled.

PS Toastmasters is fantastic for helping people build up their confidence and provide them with great public speaking skills.
I have seen many many mice join but eventually leave as an elephant so Toastmasters works. On a personal level it helped me gain the skills I needed to deal with my daughter's medical teams when she was a child/teen.
