Making a regular donation through your pay is easy to set up and costs you less than you think.
Donations are taken from your pay before tax. This means that if you pledge to give £10 a month, it will only cost you £8 if you are a standard rate tax payer and HMRC will pay the rest.
Choosing to give a regular monthly donation is one of the best and most efficient ways of supporting the Sapper Charity because we know, day in day out, that we have a steady income stream that we can rely on.
How to donate via your pay
- If you earn a salary or pension and your employer deducts Pay As You Earn (PAYE) tax, you can donate via your pay.
- Find out if your employer already offers payroll giving. If they do, speak to them about setting up your monthly gift. If they don’t, direct them to our ‘For Employers’ section so they can find out more about setting up a scheme.
- It takes one to two months for your first gift to be taken from your wages. Don’t worry if your donation doesn’t appear on your next payslip. If it doesn’t appear after that time, please contact your payroll department.
- To stop donating or change the amount you give, you will need to contact your payroll department.
- If you change jobs and want to continue donating to us, you will need to set up a new gift, following the same process with your new employer.
For Employers
- If your business doesn’t currently offer payroll giving, you can easily set up the scheme by contacting any HMRC-approved Payroll Giving Agencies.
- Matching your employees’ donations is a great way to incentivise them to give. If you interested in offering donation matching, you can speak to our corporate team.
