Payroll Giving is a scheme which allows you to donate through your payroll and on a tax-free basis, to a charity of your choice. Your charitable donations are deducted from your gross pay before tax.
You can choose to make regular donations monthly through payroll giving, or you can make a one-off donation. Some of our supporters will make a one-off donation through their payroll when they receive a bonus, so when you benefit, people who are blind and partially sighted benefit also!
There is no minimum donation amount through Payroll Giving, so how much you give and how often is entirely up to you. Some Guide Dogs supporters give a regular gift of £5 or £10 a month, while others like to support the charity with a one-off donation when they have received a bonus.
To stop your regular Payroll Giving donation simply speak with your employer’s payroll department who will be able to bring these donations to a close.
No. When you leave your job, your Payroll Giving donations will stop automatically. In order to continue these donations, you can speak with your Payroll department in your new organisation to see if they offer Payroll Giving and set up your charitable giving again.
No. When you donate through Payroll Giving your donations are claimed pre-tax. So, there is no need for us to claim tax back through Gift Aid.
Simply ask your Payroll Department.
If the organisation you work for is not looking to set up a Payroll Giving scheme you can speak to us about other ways to donate to Guide Dogs - your support really is life-changing.
