Payroll giving is one of the most tax-efficient ways of donating to charity. By having their donations come from their gross pay, before tax, employees effectively increase the value of their contributions.

Running a payroll giving scheme will help to build better employer-employee relations as well as improving the company’s public image. Your employees will appreciate the opportunity to give to the charity of their choice in a simple way, while knowing that their regular giving contributes to a regular income for the charity enabling them to plan ahead.

The Laura Crane Trust can advise you on setting up a payroll giving scheme, or a representative from the trust can come and talk to your employees about what a difference payroll giving can make.
