About Payroll Giving
Payroll giving enables you to give regularly to Rainbow Trust from your gross salary (before income tax is deducted). It is simple, quick and effective and guarantees a regular flow of funds to support families who have a seriously ill child.
Your donation is an easy, tax-effective way to give monthly to Rainbow Trust so it costs you less to give more! For example, if you pay tax at the basic rate of 20%, it will only cost you £4, yet Rainbow Trust receives £5 as the tax is included.
Donate to Rainbow Trust from your payroll in three easy steps:
-
-
Step 2
Decide how much you want to give each month.
-
Step 3
See your individual charity donations detailed on your payslip and how you are directly helping families with a seriously ill child.
How you can save money on your donation
Because payroll giving donations are taken before tax, you can save money every time you give.
For a standard rate taxpayer:
-
Donating £5 to us means you’ll only pay £4
-
Donating £10 to us means you’ll only pay £8
-
Donating £15 to us means you’ll only pay £12
