Bring Pink Ink to Your Workplace
Recovery doesn't end when treatment does.
Support breast cancer survivors through workplace giving and help fund life-changing recovery after breast cancer treatment.
Whether you're an employee looking to support a cause close to your heart or an employer wanting to create a positive impact in your community, workplace giving is a simple way to make a lasting difference.
What is Workplace Giving?
Workplace giving continues to grow as more Australian organisations look for meaningful ways to support their communities. Rather than making one-off donations throughout the year, employees choose an amount they would like to contribute from each pay. Donations are generally made before tax through payroll, making workplace giving one of the easiest and most tax-effective ways to support a charity.
Many employers also choose to match employee donations, doubling the impact of every contribution. For charities like Pink Ink, workplace giving provides consistent funding that helps us continue supporting breast cancer survivors throughout Australia.
If your organisation already has workplace giving, we'd love you to consider nominating Pink Ink.
If your organisation doesn't currently offer workplace giving, there are a number of providers who can help businesses explore the available options.
Why Workplace Giving Matters to Pink Ink?
Every donation, no matter how small, contributes to meaningful change. One-off donations are always appreciated, but regular giving allows Pink Ink to plan for the future.
Knowing that ongoing support is available means we can continue funding grants for breast cancer survivors throughout the year and help more people access life-changing corrective tattooing.
For employers, workplace giving is also an opportunity to strengthen community engagement, encourage employee participation in charitable giving and demonstrate a commitment to making a positive social impact.
For employees, it's a simple way to support a cause they care about without needing to remember to make individual donations throughout the year.
Why Pink Ink?
Pink Ink Australia is Australia's only known charity dedicated to funding anatomical, camouflage and cosmetic tattooing for breast cancer survivors.
While treatment may end, recovery often continues for years.
Many survivors are left with permanent reminders of their breast cancer journey, including surgical scarring, the loss of nipples and areolas, damaged skin following radiation treatment and permanent eyebrow loss following chemotherapy.
These physical changes often affect far more than appearance. They can have a lasting impact on confidence, self-esteem and emotional wellbeing.
Unlike many charities that focus on prevention, treatment or research, Pink Ink focuses on what comes next. We help survivors restore confidence, reclaim their sense of self and move forward after treatment. Recovery deserves support too.
