The petition to persuade the government to maintain the 10% top-up on payroll giving
donations has not attracted many signatures from the voluntary sector so far.
A 
Payroll Giving Forum meeting today heard that only 700 employees of voluntary sector
organisations had signed the 10% top-up petition in the past two months. The Forum
is campaigning to encourage the Government to retain the 10% supplement after April
2003, when it is due to cease.

It might be a hard campaign to win, but it will not get anywhere if voluntary sector
staff, and fundraisers in particular, do not demonstrate their interest in retaining
this useful top-up.

You can download the Forum’s briefing on the 10% supplement from the Institute of
Fundraising’s Web site, together with the petition form. Find them under the Tax
Effective giving section of the site.
