Payroll giving is an easy, tax-effective way of making a regular donation to Gingerbread directly from staff salary. As the donation comes straight from their pre-tax earnings, the government will top up the donation at no cost to your staff.

Payroll giving is an excellent way of demonstrating your business’ commitment to corporate social responsibility. It can boost staff morale and motivation, supporting retention and recruitment. Your staff will appreciate the ease and convenience of direct giving from their pay and by being tax efficient it costs less to give more.  Payroll giving can enhance your charitable giving with little to no effort to your business. And it can help you to monitor the level of charitable giving that your business has helped to achieve.
