Give As You Earn

Blonde woman smiling at colleagueCAF Give As You Earn is the UK’s number one payroll giving scheme. It’s one of the easiest ways for employees and pensioners who are paid through PAYE to give regularly to charity – plus it’s both flexible and tax efficient.

Your employees choose how much they want to give each month, and the charities they want to give to. The donation then comes off their gross pay, before the taxman touches it. We then distribute the money, and donations can be made to any UK charity.

Charities benefit from Give As You Earn because receiving regular donations means that they can make financial plans for their long-term future – knowing they can rely on the regular gifts of their payroll donors.

Employees can give as much or as little as they like, and because the donation is taken from their pay before tax, it actually costs them less.
