Our staff have the option to pay monthly or one off donations
which are deducted from the gross salary and paid direct to
any UK registered charity of
their choice. Towergate matches donations to Partner charities.
Towergate has been awarded the Bronze Award in 2010 from the
Institute of fund raising to recognise the effectiveness of Payroll
Giving by our staff. View to see the
certificate.
The charity receives the donation plus the tax
e.g. a £1 donation would mean the Charity receives £1.25 for
standard rate tax payers and £1.66 for higher rate tax payers.
The minimum net monthly donation is £1.
Our staff simply download the Towergate Payroll Giving
form. The Gross donation is the amount the charity will
receive and is calculated according to the level of tax paid
by our member of staff. See the table below. Towergate
will match donations to Partner charities.

What our Staff Say
"I had been donating to my designated charity
for many years via direct debit and decided to switch over to
donating via payroll as I simply recognised that the charity would
get more out of my donation if I paid that way."
Craig Provan - Fusion Glasgow
"I prefer to use the payroll facility
essentially for ease of administration. There is also the
psychological aspect of the donation being deducted from my gross
salary so I don't think of it as a monthly outgoing (on the basis
of what you never had, you never miss)." Robert
Calderwood -Towergate Leeds
"I found it very easy to do. It took me 5
minutes to complete a form and Towergate did everything
else." Avril Fenwick - Towergate
Teesside
