Workplace Charity Fund - Contribution to The Fund

Contributions to the “Workplace Charity Fund” can be made through tax efficient gifts such as Give As You Earn, a scheme where the Employee agrees that the Employer can deduct a gift each week/month from their pay for the “Workplace Charity Fund”. The gift is deducted before tax therefore in real terms a £5 gift only costs the donor £3.90p at standard rate tax (£5 less 22% tax = £3.90), or £3.00 (at higher rate tax). Please refer to “Leaflets and Forms” below.

Another way to make tax efficient gifts to the “Workplace Charity Fund” is through Gift Aid. This is where a donation is made to the “Workplace Charity Fund” and we at United Trusts then claim the tax back from HMRC (Inland Revenue) i.e. a Gift of £10 becomes worth £12.81 at no extra cost to the donor.

Cash donations from fundraising events (i.e. raffles, parachuting, dress down days), made to the “Workplace Charity Fund”.

Employer donations to the “Workplace Charity Fund". The funds are held by United Trusts and administered on behalf of the “Workplace Charity Fund”.
