Payroll Giving

EBOP Riding for the Disabled is registered as an approved IRD organization for Payroll Giving. Payroll giving makes it easy to donate as it comes out directly from your pay. The amount you wish to donate is chosen by you, and payments are set up by your employer.

The great part about Payroll Giving is that you receive an immediate tax credit for your donations instead of having to claim for a tax rebate at the end of the year. For every dollar you donate you get 33.33 cents back as a tax credit. The credit reduces the amount of PAYE you pay. If you donate $15 per week, the Government will pay $5 of this per week meaning that only $10 will be deducted from your pay.

Contact us about payroll giving.

HAY: During the winter months EBOP RDA goes through up to 90 bales of hay a month. Although we do cut our own hay, we often still have to purchase from external sources. Depending on availability this can cost anywhere between $10 – $20 per bale.
