Support any UK charity through your pay

As a University of Edinburgh employee, you can donate to your favourite UK charity through your pay. Payroll Giving is simple and tax-effective, making sure your donations go further.

Tax-free donations

Your donation gets deducted from your pay before you pay the taxman, making your gift tax-free. For example, if you donate £5 a month from your pay, the cost to you in your take-home pay is £4 a month. The taxman pays £1 a month and your charity receives the full £5 a month.
