Increase the value of your employees’ giving

Woman's hand writing on blackboardWhatever your budget, we can help you to increase the value of your employees’ giving by developing a matched giving plan tailored to your business and community investment aims.

As part of Give As You Earn, you can match pound for pound what each of your employees give – and you have the flexibility to put a cap on how much you match per employee. The money you give in this way is not taxed, and you can keep it separate from business revenue by keeping it in a CAF Company Account – free of charge.

You can also match giving in the following ways:

  • single gifts – if an employee gives £20 to charity, so do you
  • fundraising – match the money raised by staff from putting on events and collecting for charity
  • volunteering time – you ‘pay’ your employees for the volunteering time with a donation to their charity

The benefits of matched giving include:

  • it boosts morale and encourages team building by rewarding employees for their generosity
  • a reduced tax bill – you don’t have to pay Corporation Tax on the money you use to match employee giving
  • flexibility – you can allow your staff to choose the charities you support, nominate a Charity of the Year, or stipulate charities you don’t want to support
  • it raises your company’s profile and generates positive PR

As experts in matched giving, we do everything from working with you to develop your programme to helping you design the employee application forms and sending out quarterly statements to you and your staff. We also check out the credentials of the charities you want to give to.
