payroll giving: is a simple tax-efficient method of giving direct from your salary, which authorises your employer to make a donation from your wages before deducting tax. donations via payroll giving are deducted before tax (but after deduction of national insurance contributions) and because you donate before the tax is calculated you only pay tax on what is left.

you can use payroll giving providing you are an employee or pensioner and your employer deducts tax from your pay or pension and your employer operates a payroll giving scheme by a government-approved giving agency eg caf or just giving.  please contact your employer about taking advantage of this scheme.

if you run a business and are thinking of setting up a payroll giving scheme please look here for information on the benefits and grants available for smaller businesses.

matched/company giving: many companies offer matching gift programmes to encourage their employees to support charities.  a list of those organisations currently operating a matching gift scheme can be found here.  if you work for one of the listed organisations and make a charitable donation to the college, please contact your hr department to find out more about their matched giving scheme.

we welcome and are grateful for gifts from companies.  the value of your gift can be taken into consideration when calculating your company’s tax liability.
