How does your chosen charity benefit?

All you need to do is choose how much money you want to give each month and which charitable causes you want to give to – then we’ll work with your HR/ payroll department to do the rest.

How much should you give?

You can give as much or as little as you want, and because the donation is taken from your pay before tax, it actually costs you less. The more you give, the more tax you save. Some companies will also match your donations therefore giving your chosen charity up to double the amount you first gave.
