What is payroll giving?
Payroll giving, or workplace giving, is the best way to donate to Shelter Scotland.
Payroll giving donations are deducted before tax so we receive more money at no extra cost to you.
With payroll giving, your donation is worth 20% to 45% more, depending on how much tax you pay.
For example, if you're a basic tax rate payer making a donation of £10 per month, we receive £12.50. The taxman pays the extra!
Payroll giving also provides us with a steady source of income, this means we can plan our efforts more effectively, meaning we can help even more people. Got questions? Read our frequently asked questions from employees.

Match funding
Want to add extra value to your employee benefits package and your CSR programme? Then why not match-fund employee donations?
For a set time to kick start your scheme or on a permanent basis, you could single, double or even triple match-fund each donation.
Just put a cheque in the post, made payable to 'Shelter' and send to:
