Payroll Giving
Payroll Giving is a very easy and highly tax-efficient way to donate to charities. Setting up a scheme is easy and allows your employees to donate straight from their gross pay. Donations are deducted after National Insurance but before tax, meaning, for example, if you chose to donate £10, as a standard rate taxpayer, this would actually only cost you £8! Making it one of the most effective ways to support charities like Yorkshire Air Ambulance.
Match Funding
By offering a match-funding programme to your employees, you make staff more likely to donate, as they can see the value of their donation being increased, boosting team morale.
Match funding or match giving involves a company matching the amount an employee donates to their chosen charities, enhancing overall contributions. This means every time an employee fundraises for their chosen charity through their employer, they have the opportunity to double their donation!
We want to help you reach your Corporate Social Responsibility goals and understand the impact that supporting charities can have on your employee engagement. As your chosen charity, we want to understand your company values and mission, and create fundraising opportunities to align with your needs
We’ll give you use of our Proud to Support logo for you to add to your email signatures, website and fundraising event materials, allowing you to share your support of YAA with your contacts. *Full usage policy will be provided once supporting.
That’s right, once you’re a YAA Business Supporter, we’ll provide you with your own unique QR code, which can be used for all of your fundraising. Any donations made through the QR code link straight back to your company’s total, making it quick and easy to keep track of your fundraising.
We’ll send you our monthly newsletter, ‘Airborne’, keeping you up to date on all our charity news and events.
