Many employers operate payroll giving schemes that allow people to make automatic, regular gifts to charity from their salary. This is particularly tax efficient as no tax is paid on the donation and, in the United Kingdom, the Government adds 10% to your gift. Please check with your employer to find out if they operate a Payroll Giving scheme. Company Matched Giving is operated by many large companies who agree to match any charitable donation made by their employees up to a maximum amount.
