How can Payroll Giving benefit my organisation?

Payroll giving with WaterAid can be an important element in demonstrating corporate social responsibility and supporting employee engagement. 
 
Increase staff morale and staff retention 

Payroll giving offers your employees the opportunity to give to their favourite charity in the most tax-effective way.
 
An integral part of the employee benefits package, a payroll giving scheme can boost staff morale and retention and complement your existing volunteering and charity of the year programmes.
 
Demonstrate corporate social responsibility 

Promoting your payroll giving scheme is a great way to show that you care about your employees' favourite charities. 
 
Companies can receive a Quality Mark Award in recognition of their commitment to payroll giving.
 
Raise money for important causes 

Many companies now match the contributions made by their employees and provide a significant boost to WaterAid's vital work.
 
The most successful organisations, regularly promote their schemes to raise their profile and encourage employees to participate.

"Give & Match is Whitbread's payroll-giving scheme, an important part of our community investment activity. We  double match our employees' first donation and pay all administration fees. 
Currently, 17% of our employees participate in the scheme, which is fantastic news for the various charities and shows that our employees really care about charitable giving as well as the importance of this scheme."
