Donating through your salary or pension
You work hard for your money; now let your money work harder for you and the Meningitis Trust!
Employees
Payroll giving (donating through your salary) is an easy and tax efficient way to make regular donations to the Meningitis Trust. The great news is that donations are tax free and it actually costs you less to give us more.
See how much you can save:
| Pledge to the Meningitis Trust | Cost if you pay basic rate tax (20%) | Cost if you pay higher rate tax (40%) | Cost if you pay higher rate tax (50%) |
| £5.00 £10.00 £100.00 |
£4.00 £8.00 £80.00 |
£3.00 £6.00 £60.00 |
£2.50 £5.00 £50.00 |
* If you are a higher rate taxpayer, you can also reclaim additional tax relief against your donations on the difference between the higher rate of tax at 40% or 50% and the basic rate of tax at 20%. You can then choose to donate this additional money to the Trust.
How your donation helps us
Giving regularly through your salary enables the Trust to plan and carry out our vital work, safe in the knowledge that our funding is secure. In this way we can offer support for life for those affected by meningitis, whenever it is needed, for as long as it is needed.
