Payroll Giving Month happens every year in February, when Charities, Payroll Giving Agencies, Payroll Funding Organisations and Companies make a special effort to increase awareness of the benefits of Payroll Giving.
The wonderful thing about payroll giving is that it’s simple to set up.
Your employer registers online.
You select the charity you want to support.
Your donation is taken directly from your salary before tax.
Payroll Giving allows you to donate directly from your salary through your employer. The donations are taken before tax is deducted. Giving via your payroll means your donations will be increased by the tax you would have paid. For example, if you decide to give £10 a month, it will only cost you £8 if you pay tax at the basic rate, £6 on 40% tax and £5.50 on 45% tax.
Payroll Giving is a simple way and tax-free way to donate to Mildmay.
You choose how much you’d like to donate monthly, and we receive a tax-free donation directly from your salary.
How it works
To donate through Payroll Giving, check with your employer if they have a Payroll Giving scheme. If they don’t, please find out more at the gov.uk Payroll Giving page.

Donations are taken directly from your salary before tax is deducted through your employer. Giving via your payroll means your donations will be increased by tax relief. For example, if you decide to give £10 a month, it will only cost you £8 if you pay tax at the basic rate or even less if you pay a higher tax rate.
