Payroll Giving is an easy way for Welsh employers of all kinds to support good causes by allowing their staff to make donations before tax.
Does your organisation have a Payroll Giving Scheme?
February marks Payroll Giving Month, a real opportunity for employers in Wales to boost their social impact while helping employees make their charitable donations go further.
Payroll Giving is simple to set up, simple to maintain and, with low to no costs, an affordable way to make a difference as an employer. Voluntary organisations are already making a huge social impact across Wales. If you have paid staff, schemes like Payroll Giving allow you to do good as an employer as well.
‘As a company that has a deep ethos on giving back, introducing Payroll Giving was an easy decision to allow our employees at our stores in Cardiff, Newport and Cwmbran to support their favourite causes.
We have also benefited as an employer as we have won various awards for our scheme, including a Diamond Quality Mark.’

NOT JUST FOR BIG BUSINESSES OR BIG CHARITIES
Did you know it’s not just for large businesses? And it’s not just for supporting the big, well known charities. Any employer of any size can set up a scheme, and employees can individually decide who they donate to from the thousands of local and national causes all over Wales (and beyond).

BUT WHAT EXACTLY IS PAYROLL GIVING?
Payroll Giving is a government-backed scheme that allows employees to support their favourite charities in exchange for tax relief.
What makes the scheme stand out is that it benefits everyone involved. It makes giving cheaper for taxpayers, businesses can use it to enhance their social impact, and charities receive sustainable income to fund vital services communities rely on.
ENHANCE YOUR SOCIAL IMPACT
Payroll Giving supports your employees to give to the causes they care about most. Here’s what one employer said:
‘At Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water, we’re proud to make giving back simple and meaningful through our Payroll Giving scheme. This initiative empowers colleagues to support causes they care about in a convenient, tax-efficient way. It’s more than a program – it reflects our shared values and our ongoing commitment to the communities we serve.’
