Help us unlock £1 million in additional charitable donations

--View our deck here--

Every year, millions of people donate generously to charity, with over £2.68b given in 2024 through Direct Debit.

But most don't realise that even with Gift Aid, they're giving in one of the least tax-efficient ways possible.

We're building The Payroll Giving Scheme - a new UK charity with one simple mission - make payroll giving the easiest, most engaging and most widely used way to donate to charity.

Why this matters

Payroll Giving allows donations to come directly from salary before income tax is deducted.

That means:

Yet despite these benefits...

This isn't because people don't want to give - it's because the system hasn't evolved.

Existing providers were built for a different era. Payroll Giving today is often invisible, difficult to access and largely ignored - meanwhile charities are missing out on millions of pounds every year.

Our vision

We're creating a completely new type of Payroll Giving agency.

Instead of outdated systems, we're building a modern, technology-first charity designed specifically for today's employers and employees.

We'll provide:

Our goal is simple:

Unlock an additional £1 million of charitable donations.

Not by asking people to donate more money, but by helping them donate more effectively.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Why we're raising £5,000

Before we can begin operating, we must complete registration with the Charity Commission and establish all of the governance, policies, systems and infrastructure required to become an HMRC-approved Payroll Giving Agency.

The £5,000 will fund essential setup costs including:

This funding doesn't pay dividends or create private profit.

We're establishing as a charitable company limited by guarantee, meaning every pound raised is used to build an organisation whose purpose is to increase charitable giving across the UK.

Should we not achieve charitable status or become a HMRC approved payroll giving agency, every pound will be returned to the donors.

The bigger picture

If Payroll Giving became mainstream, the impact could be enormous.

If just 25% of donations currently made by Direct Debit were instead made through Payroll Giving, charities could receive over £134 million in additional donations through tax efficiencies alone.

We're starting with a modest target of £1 million in additional charitable donations.

But this is about building infrastructure that could benefit thousands of charities and hundreds of thousands of donors for years to come.
