Payroll Giving is a unique form of tax-effective that has raised a total of over £2 billion for charities to date.
What makes the scheme truly special is that it benefits everyone involved – donors can benefit from tax relief that makes giving cheaper, charities receive invaluable funds, and businesses can use it to bolster CSR/ESG programmes.
And yet, despite the many benefits Payroll Giving has to offer, the number of employers offering the scheme has dropped from over 5,000 to 4,000 between 2017 and 2023. To turn this around, we have co-created this guide with charities, Payroll Giving Agencies (PGAs), Professional Fundraising Organisations (PFOs), and the Department of Culture Media and Sport (DCMS) to inspire more businesses to adopt the scheme and use it to its full potential.
The guide covers everything a business needs to know about how to adopt Payroll Giving and use it to increase their social impact and foster a positive company culture. It includes:

Tips, advice and case studies from companies using the scheme right now to make a positive difference, including Morrisons, The Entertainer and Natwest.
The guide is designed to be used by anyone who wants to raise awareness of Payroll Giving. For example:
We hope this guide gives you the inspiration and information you need to promote Payroll Giving, so together we can make sure every PAYE employee has the opportunity to give tax-effectively.
