Payroll giving

• Payroll Giving is a workplace giving scheme whereby employees sign up to donate to a selected charity directly from their pay packet.
• The donation is deducted at source by the employer and sent directly to their nominated charity, via a Payroll Giving Agency (PGA), who receive the donation plus the tax (which would have gone to the Treasury).
• The scheme is easy to run, and open to all charities with a payroll, no matter how small.
• There is usually a small administration charge though this service is free through WCVA for all employers in Wales. Offered free of charge through WCVA.
• Employers offering Payroll Giving receive a Quality Mark, Certificate and Logo to recognise and reward employee participation and charitable support.
