Payroll Giving is a great way to donate to us. It gives us a reliable source of income to help us plan for a future.
If you earn a salary or if your occupational pension is paid through PAYE then you could make regular contributions to the CRSA through a Payroll Giving scheme. If you own or manage a business, why not set up a scheme and give your employees the opportunity to support us?
Payroll Giving (also known as Give As You Earn or GAYE) is a highly efficient way of giving.

Donating via Payroll Giving
If you sign up to a Payroll Giving scheme, a donation will be deducted from your salary or pension before tax. This means it costs you less to help us.
You decide how much you would like to give each pay day. There is no upper or lower limit. HMRC makes up the remainder of the donation at no cost to you. Here are some examples of what donations will cost you in take-home pay:
a £5 donation will cost you £4 (at 20% tax), £3 (at 40% tax)
a £10 donation will cost you £8 (at 20% tax), £6 (at 40% tax)
a £15 donation will cost you £12 (at 20% tax), £9 (at 40% tax)
Some employers also offer ‘matched giving’ schemes where they match or double a donation at no extra cost to you.

If your circumstances change, you can reduce or increase your donation and its frequency. If your employer does not currently offer a scheme, you can ask them to set one up (see below).
