Payroll Giving is a way of giving money to charity without paying tax on it. It is the most tax-efficient method of making charitable donations. Payroll giving is a scheme available through your UK employer, which enables you to make a charitable donation straight from your gross salary.

However, your employer must have a payroll giving scheme in place for you to donate this way (they may refer to the scheme using a specific payroll agency brand name, such as ‘Give As You Earn’). You can find out more about donating through your payroll by getting in touch with us via development@uwl.ac.uk

If you are a UWL Staff Member, you can set up your payroll giving through the CAF Give As You Earn website.

We have given generations of students a great start, and generations have given back to the community and to UWL. One of the best ways you can support our work; our students, our teaching and our research, is by making a gift in your Will. It is a way of ensuring that your memories and affection for your time here will have a lasting impact on future generations at UWL.

There are several ways you can support UWL with a legacy. You can see more information on the most common types of gift and how you can help by clicking Read More.

Ways to donate tax efficiently

Gift Aid

If you donate to our University through Gift Aid, you allow us to claim an extra 25p for every £1 you give. This will not add any extra cost to you. If you are a higher rate taxpayer (40% +), you can claim back some of the tax on your donation. You can find out more about donating through Gift Aid by visiting the UK Government website here, or getting in touch with us via development@uwl.ac.uk

Donating Land, Property or Shares

If you donate land, property or shares to UWL, you will not pay Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax. To find out more, please visit the UK Government website or get in touch with us via development@uwl.ac.uk

UWL can also accept donations from supporters who reside outside the UK.

Europe

UWL can accept donations via Transnational Giving Europe (TGE). The TGE network covers 19 countries, allowing donors resident in participating countries to offer financial support to non-profit organisations in other member countries. It allows donors to benefit from the tax advantages provided for in the legislation of their country of residence.  If you wish to find out more about donating through land, property or shares, please visit TGE website here, or get in touch with us via development@uwl.ac.uk
