Payroll Giving is an easy way to make tax-efficient regular donations through your salary. It is sometimes known as Workplace Giving or Give As You Earn.
Payroll Giving
The easy way to give each month
If you want to make a regular donation to Charity for Civil Servants, Payroll Giving is a great way to do it.
Once set up, donations are deducted automatically from your salary before you pay tax. That means that your donation goes further. It will help more civil servants going through tough times.
You can change or stop your donation at any time.
How much will my donation cost?
Here are three donation amounts. The donation is the amount you pledge from your monthly gross salary. Underneath is what it will cost you from your take-home pay.
Standard (20%), higher (40%) and highest (45%) rate taxpayer amounts are shown.
There is no minimum or maximum amount you can give.
| You donate (per month): | £5 | £10 | £15 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost to you as 20% tax payer | £4 | £8 | £12 |
| Cost to you as 40% tax payer | £3 | £6 | £9 |
| Cost to you as 45% tax payer | £2.75 | £5.50 | £8.25 |
How will I be helping Charity for Civil Servants?
A gift through your salary each month will help us be there for civil servants. We support current, former and retired civil servants when they face tough times. From mental health struggles and financial assistance to relationship issues, getting through grief, and coping with disability, we’re here to help people stay strong, whatever life brings.
We’ve been here for civil servants for generations. We provide an umbrella of support when its needed.
You’ll be helping people like Stephen, who needed support after his marriage broke down.
Stephen’s story
The support from the Charity for Civil Servants has been invaluable to me. It really has had a massive impact on my quality of life. This enabled me to move out but still live close to my daughter. I now have my own space to rebuild my life. At a time when I was starting from zero, I felt like the charity kept me going.
common questions
Your Payroll Giving donation should start on your next pay day. If it doesn’t, contact your payroll team.
If you are leaving your current employer, your Payroll Giving donation will stop.
If you are moving to a different employer or Civil Service department, and you want to continue making a donation in this way, contact the payroll team at your new workplace.
You could still make Payroll Giving contributions from your pension. If you have a personal pension, ask your pension provider if they have a Payroll Giving Scheme.
Alternatively, you could set up a regular donation by:
- signing-up online to regular giving
- sending an email to hello@cfcs.org.uk
- calling us on 0800 056 2424.
You can change, or stop your donations at any time. That’s the beauty of Payroll Giving.
Tell your payroll department what change you want to make.
If you are ending your donations, thank you for your support.
