Payroll giving
This page is free to all
What is it?
A company agrees to take a monthly donation from any of their employees that want to take part. The donation is taken before tax.
Good reasons to try payroll giving
- You have good links with a company that employs a reasonable number of people
- You want a small but reliable income stream.
Key advice
- Unless the business you want to work with already has payroll giving, you will need to help them understand how to set it up.
- Read the Chartered Institute of Fundraising’s guide.
- Find out about Charity Aid Foundation’s scheme.
- The Fundraising Regulator offers more guidance on payroll giving in Section 14 of the current Code of Fundraising Practice. A new version of the Code comes into effect in November 2025.
