The Home Office’s new grant making programme to encourage small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) to set up Payroll Giving schemes is now live. The Payroll Giving Grants programme is a Home Office-funded initiative, administered and promoted by the Institute of Fundraising, in partnership with Business in the Community.

Any employer, business or charity alike, is eligible for a £500 grant to set up Payroll Giving Schemes so long as the organisation has fewer than 500 employees. In addition the first £10 of each employee’s monthly donations will be matched by the Government for a period of six months.

The aim of this UK-wide programme is to provide sustainable income sources for charities by increasing the number of employers and employees engaged in Payroll Giving.
