Employee fundraising
Payroll Giving
Give As You Earn is a tax-effective way for employees to make regular charity donations. Make sure your company has signed up for the scheme so that donations from participating employees can be taken direct from salary each month before the tax is deducted.
The benefit of the scheme is that a basic-rate tax payer making a £10 a month donation only sees a reduction of £7.80 of their take-home pay. Higher-rate taxpayers are giving up just £6 of their salary for the same contribution.
Donating time
As with all voluntary organisations, St. Andrew's is supported as much by people's time as by money. Companies can assist us greatly by lending staff to assist with local activities or allowing employees to take time for voluntary work.
