Managing Your Company's Giving
You have decided that your company wants to give to charity but you need an effective way of doing it. LCVS can help you to plan, monitor and manage your companies giving.
How it works
The Workplace Fund allows you to better plan your company’s charitable giving by restricting the money you have allocation / fundraised for charity – great for tax purposes. You can donate to any charitable organisation worldwide. It makes the ideal funding base for all your community investment activities, whether they are local, national or international.
The Workplace Fund also means you don’t have to donate it all before the end of the tax year, because your charity money is kept separate from your business revenue, which gives you greater control and flexibility with your charity budget.
Benefits of a Company Charity Account include:
- we provide a ‘charity chequebook’ and regular statements - you can easily keep track of your account.
- you have more flexibility within your charity budget, as donations can be rolled over into your next accounting period.
- you’ll receive a reduced tax bill, as the donations you make as a company are gross which, along with admin costs and matching, can be offset against Corporation Tax.
- we can claim the gift aid on behalf of charities on any donations ( that are eligible) made by individuals.
- Staff can give to the Workplace Fund directly through Payroll Giving.
- you can protect your charitable budget by keeping it separate from your business revenue
- you can make donations to any charitable organisation including international charities
- you can get independent validation of all the charities you want to donate to, as we can check their credentials for you.
- help in linking your charitable giving with your corporate objectives.
Our expertise, combined with a Workplace Fund, provides the perfect way to manage your charitable giving, helping you and your staff make a difference!
