Payroll Giving

payroll give as you earn

Payroll Giving (also known as Give As You Earn or workplace giving) is a valuable, long term source of revenue for Makomborero, providing regular income to help us budget and plan ahead more effectively.

Not only is Payroll Giving really simple, but it’s also very tax effective. How come? Because your donation gets deducted before you pay the taxman. For instance, if you donate £5, only £4 comes out of your salary and the taxman pays the rest. And if you are a higher rate tax payer, a donation of £5 to Makomborero would only cost you £3!

So ask your employer or pension provider if they run a Payroll Giving scheme and if they do not, please ask them to set one up. There are a range of Give As You Earn providers and here is a list of UK agencies approved by the HMRC.
