Payroll giving

Payroll giving is a simple, tax-efficient and flexible way of donating to Merlin through your salary. There are two options through which you can start giving.

To set up workplace giving

Saving you money

Since your donation is taken from your salary before tax is deducted, it costs you less and the Inland Revenue gives us the tax it would otherwise have kept. In other words, whatever you give can be worth up to 40% more to Merlin.

Why payroll giving matters

Regular givers are the lifeblood of Merlin. This regular support means that our medical experts can be ready to save lives the moment disaster strikes.

What’s more, a regular gift means that Merlin can stay for as long as it takes to revive and rebuild health services in some of the world’s toughest places.

What your gift could achieve

£3 a month. After just a year your gift could buy essential training materials for a midwife in Liberia, saving the lives of hundreds of mothers and their babies.

£5 a month. After a year your gift could help save the lives of 4 malnourished children by feeding them for a whole month.

£10 a month. In a world where a child dies of malaria every 30 seconds, after one year your gift could have bought enough mosquito nets to protect 36 people from malaria.

How to set it up

Setting up a payroll gift is confidential, quick and easy. Please contact your company’s Payroll or HR team to see if your organisation offers payroll giving. If your organisation doesn't currently offer payroll giving, visit Geared for Giving to see how they, and you, can get involved.

Alternatively, set up your gift online - just click here for workplace giving, or here for payroll giving.
