What is the Employee Giving Program
The Employee Giving Program, organized by the Avita Health Foundation, provides an opportunity for Avita employees to give back to the place they work through a philanthropic gift to our hospitals and clinics.
Why should I donate to the place I work?
Rapid advances in technology, reductions in reimbursement by government program such as Medicare and Medicaid, and the costs needed to care for underinsured patients must be met with private support to sustain a quality level of care in today’s healthcare environment. Avita’s need to provide the next medical equipment, as well as amenities to house our expanding services lines and programs outweighs our financial capability. Employees help set the example of supporting our healthcare organization with our communities.
If I’m currently making donation through payroll deduction do I need to fill out a new form?
You do not need to sign up for payroll deduction again for the 2023-2024 fiscal year. Your ongoing payroll deduction contribution will continue to be deducted this year. However, if you decide to change the amount of your deduction, you will need to make the change on the pledge form.
What will my donation go toward in the 2023-2024 fiscal year?
Several funds are set up through the Avita Health Foundation to which you can designate your gift. Or, you may make a general donation what will be used for the greatest areas of need for Avita.
How is my donation to the Employee Giving Program managed?
The Avita Health Foundation, a separate non-profit organization, manages and disperses funds under the direction of a Board of Directors solely for the benefit of Avita Health System and in accordance with the laws and regulations of charitable organizations.
