Me, me, me - or me, you, we?
Are you among the 70% of people in the UK who give to charity? More and more of us are choosing to play our part alongside others in shaping positive change.
More and more of us are also choosing, as employees and consumers, to give our loyalty to organisations and brands with a positive story to tell.
More and more of us are choosing to be Geared for Giving.
Being Geared for Giving means taking an informed decision about Workplace Giving. It’s all about giving to good causes at work, direct from your salary. Any charity, any cause.
Making your donation work harder
Because it’s regular, Workplace Giving means charities can plan ahead – crucial when every penny counts. But there’s more. Being Geared for Giving at work means your chosen charity receives your donation tax free. So what you give direct from your salary could go up to 40% further. How’s that for a beautiful loophole?
Will you help the UK become Geared for Giving? Over 750,000 employees already give this way – but why not more? It’s simple. Not enough companies participate in the scheme. And not enough employees are aware of its benefits. Which is a crying shame, because this is clearly the best way to give.
Geared for Giving – as good as it gets
Fantastic! If your workplace is Geared for Giving it means the donation you make to your chosen charity is tax free – so what you give could go up to 40% further. And you won’t have to set up a standing order or direct debit.
Here’s how it works. A donation of £5 per month via your Workplace Giving scheme will only cost you £4. If you’re a higher rate tax payer, a donation of £10 per month will only cost you £6. The difference is made up by the tax man. Amazing, but true.
It’s easy to become Geared for Giving today. Just decide which charity or causes you want to support. Then choose how much you want to give. Remember – Workplace Giving is the only way to ensure up to 40% extra automatically goes to your chosen cause or causes.
