Payroll Giving is a unique way for people to give to charity.  By having their donations come straight from their gross pay before tax, employees effectively increase the value of their contributions.  So it means more money for charity, at less cost for them.

With payroll giving, any administrative costs can be deducted from company profits for tax purposes.

For a company to offer payroll giving to its employees, it must (by law) be contracted to a charity agency.
