JB Hi-Fi Helping Hands

JB Hi-Fi recognises its responsibility to give back to the community, so in November 2008, JB Hi-Fi founded the “Helping Hands” workplace giving program. This program allows all JB Hi-Fi employees to donate to 10 charity partners through regular payroll deductions. With JB H-Fi matching staff contributions dollar-for-dollar, we effectively double the positive impact to our charities.

Over the past fourteen years, JB Hi-Fi has raised over $28 million for our charity partners. This money has gone to help those who are less fortunate or struggling with illness. We have over 6,000 staff members contributing to the program each week, which is around 70% of our workforce nationally.

Since 2016, the Helping Hands program has received eight Workplace Giving awards, including Best Overall Program and Most Innovative Charity/Employee Partnership.

JB Hi-Fi is a proud member of Workplace Giving Australia and supports their goal of reaching 1 million donors.

Our Charity Partners

The Helping Hands Program has 10 charities and works on a rotation model, with one new charity joining and one leaving each year. This allows each charity sufficient time for relationship building, engagement and achievement of goals, whilst keeping the program current and allowing other charities an opportunity to be involved.
