Giving a little makes a difference to many

Payroll giving:

Payroll Giving is an effective way for employees to make regular donations to causes they are passionate
about. As an employee, you decide to donate a set amount each week, which comes out of your pre-tax
pay. It's win-win: you pay less tax, and your chosen charity gets much needed funds.
Payroll Giving is usually managed through an employer’s payroll system. It's also great for employers. It
can demonstrate your commitment to giving back - helping to build your culture, strengthen employee
engagement, enhance your brand and have a meaningful impact in the communities in which you work

How much should you give?

Whatever amount you are comfortable with. Even the smallest donation can make a difference … ie

 Rs 250/- a month (3000 per year) can have a big impact by providing nutrition to underprivileged
children on pan India level. There are other options to support with your monthly giving.
 Rs. 500/ a month (6000 per year) can help a child in need to continue his/her annual studies in a
School.
(There are other options also which will be shared)

How to give:

 Please select the donation/amount option anyone wishes to give through payroll giving. The
amount that anyone specifies to contribute gets deducted from the salary every month by
payroll department

 Once this amount is deducted of every one pledged to give, the consolidated amount is then
given to the charity with the employee’s name and contribution amount.

 After receiving the donation, each on will receive atax receipt under u/s 80G of Indian Income
Tax Act. After 6 months.

Employers can make a bigger difference by matched giving! (Optional)

By employers matching their employees’ donations, can demonstrate the corporate commitment
towards the charity rural communities.
