Staff Charity Fund

Bring your people together to support a cause, then pool their giving into a single charitable fund.

Together, we give more


If your organisation already uses our payroll giving scheme Give As You Earn, the Staff Charity Fund lets you and your employees go one better. It brings together everyone’s individual contributions into a single fund – meaning they can make a bigger collective donation to a charity of their choice.

The fund is free to set up. We take our fees (1.5%) from the donation pool, but you can choose to cover this as an organisation to support your employees’ giving. 

Why use the Staff Charity Fund 

Unite behind a cause

Bring your employees together by agreeing on a charity or cause they’d like to collectively support.


Empower your employees

Let your staff choose who manages the fund, and give them a say in how it will be used.


Give more together

Use the funds raised together to support your charity partners, for fundraising appeals or for other giving aims.

“The Staff Charity Fund gives our employees the chance to donate tax-free to collective causes that matter to them, and allows us to reliably and transparently track these donations.”

How it works

Before you get started, you’ll need to set up our payroll giving scheme Give As You Earn to let your staff give through their pay.

Contact us

1

Get your staff involved

Ask staff if they’d like to contribute. Your payroll team tracks who’s taking part and how much they want to give.

2

Take contributions from payroll

Take the donations from your employees’ pay and send us one lump sum to put in your Staff Charity Fund.

3

Give to your cause from the fund

Pick staff representatives to manage the fund and make donations from it. We’ll verify your chosen charities, and send the donations.
