Payroll Giving & Matched Funding
Imagine making a difference every time you’re paid – by supporting UK Sepsis Trust through Payroll Giving or Matched Funding, you can do just that.
Payroll giving or ‘Give as you earn’ is the most tax-efficient way to donate, allowing you to support those affected by sepsis directly from your pre-tax salary, and enjoy immediate tax relief on your regular donations.
Whether you choose to give £5 or £50 a month, every donation helps. Setting it up is simple – just speak to your HR or Finance department about adding UKST as a payroll giving option. Together, we can work towards ending preventable deaths from sepsis.
You could also ask your employer to match fund any fundraising you do, whether that’s on an ongoing basis or for a one-off fundraising challenge.
Payroll Giving & Matched Funding for Employers
Payroll Giving is not just beneficial for your employees – it’s a powerful addition to your employee benefits package and a key element of your corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme. By partnering with the UK Sepsis Trust, your company can:
- Enhance employee engagement: Payroll Giving is easy to implement and offers employees a seamless way to contribute to a cause that saves lives.
- Strengthen your CSR initiatives: Demonstrating a commitment to crucial health causes like sepsis can enhance your company’s CSR profile and showcase your values.
How to set up Payroll Giving
Setting up Payroll Giving is straightforward and cost-effective:
- Register with a Payroll Giving Agency: This agency will handle the distribution of your employees’ charitable donations to their chosen charities.
- Promote the scheme: Encourage staff participation by arranging a visit from a Professional Fundraising Organisation (PFO) or through internal communications.
- Deduct donations: Use your existing payroll software to deduct employees’ donations from their salary.
- Report to the agency: Provide the agency with details of your employees’ names and donation amounts each pay run (usually monthly).
- Support UKST: Your employees’ donations will be sent to the UK Sepsis Trust and any other nominated charities via the agency.
Matched funding: Amplify your company’s impact
Want to add even more value to your employee benefits and CSR programme? Consider matched funding. By matching your employees’ donations – whether on a single-, double-, or even triple-match basis – you can significantly increase the support UKST receives. This can be done for a set period to kick-start your scheme or on a permanent basis.
Simply send a cheque made payable to ‘UK Sepsis Trust’ to our office at Azzurri House, Walsall Business Park, WS9 0RB, and watch your company’s impact grow. Be sure to reference who the fundraiser is so we can add it to their total raised.
