Why not make monthly donations to MAG through your wages? Known as Payroll Giving or Give As You Earn, this is the most cost effective way to give to MAG and helps boost our unrestricted income.
Regular donations, no matter what size, allow us to plan ahead and respond to emergencies where we are needed most. Your donation is tax free, and the government adds an extra 10 percent onto your gift. Ask your payroll department if they operate a payroll giving scheme.
How payroll giving works:
Each time you are paid, your donation is deducted by your payroll department before tax is calculated. By giving directly from your pre-tax salary, the money that would normally go to the tax man goes to MAG instead.
For instance, if you are a basic rate tax payer:
|
If you pledge £5.00 |
|
You pay only £4.00 |
|
The tax man will pledge £1.00 - at no extra cost to you! |
And if you are a higher rate taxpayer then it will cost you even less to donate £5 to MAG.
In addition, some employers offer 'matched giving' schemes where they match or double your gift at no extra cost to you - this means even more money for MAG. Speak to your employer about the matched giving scheme - and if they aren't signed up, encourage them to!
If you are interested in payroll giving then speak to your payroll department who will advise you on what service they offer, or visit: www.payrollgivingcentre.org.uk.
Donations from the public are used to reach communities most in need and enable us to respond quickly to emergency situations - that's why we need them most.
More than 90 per cent of MAG's income is spent directly on clearance programmes. You can be confident that when you donate to MAG we will use your money as efficiently as possible.
