Matched giving provides an opportunity for businesses to share and encourage their employees’ support for charities like Self Unlimited. It can boost staff morale, encourages teambuilding by rewarding employees for their generosity and effort and generates positive public relations.
With matched giving, businesses can match employees’ donations pound for pound, or agree to donate a percentage of the amount raised. This can make a real difference whether employees are payroll giving, making one-off donations, raising funds by taking part in, or organising, fundraising events, or through other fundraising activities, such as collections or raffles.Businesses have the flexibility to put a maximum on how much is matched per employee. Like payroll giving, the funds that your business donates won’t be taxed.
Another way that businesses can match their employees’ support is by allowing staff to volunteer during company time or matching the time they have given with a monetary donation to the charity.
