Payroll giving

A company agrees to take a monthly donation from any of their employees that want to take part. The donation is taken before tax.

• You have good links with a company that employs a reasonable number of people
• You want a small but reliable income stream.

• 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.
