Payroll Giving is a way for staff to make a regular donation to Able Foundation through their pay, and change lives of people with learning disabilities. Donations are deducted from employees’ salaries before tax, making it an incredibly tax-efficient way of giving to Able Foundation.
Regular donations – like those from people who are signed up to Payroll Giving – are the best way to support Able Foundation. It means we have a reliable income we can count on, so we can plan long-term projects which help people with learning disabilities in all sphere of their life.

Payroll Giving must be administered through an HMRC-registered PGA. For contact details of registered PGAs see the end of this booklet. Your chosen PGA will advise you on the best way to set up.
Since the PGA takes on most of the administration, they will deduct a small fee from each donation to cover this – usually around 4%.
If there are any questions that your chosen PGA can’t answer, have a look at:
