Why Payroll Giving?
Give the same. More reaches charity.
Payroll Giving takes a donation from gross salary, before income tax. The tax that would otherwise go to HMRC can reach the charity instead.Direct Debit

The gap
Payroll Giving works. The experience around it doesn’t.

Help us launch
We’re raising £5,000 to set up the future of Payroll Giving.
As a charitable company, The Payroll Giving Scheme needs to demonstrate at least £5,000 in annual income before applying to register with the Charity Commission. This first fundraise will help us reach that threshold and establish the organisation properly.
We’ll use the funding to complete our registration and governance, put the right financial and compliance controls in place, establish the necessary banking arrangements, and build the first version of our technology, website and employer onboarding tools.
The £5,000 will remain ring-fenced while our registration is considered. If we do not secure charitable status and the approvals required to operate as a Payroll Giving Agency, the donations will be returned.
