My Breakthrough
Payroll giving
I have been donating to Breakthrough through my pay for two years now. I don’t have to do anything which means it is so easy and it’s great that I am always making a difference.

Make a difference…
make a donation from your pay
Payroll giving is a simple way to give to charity in the most tax-effective way possible. Your donations provide Breakthrough with regular income enabling us to plan long term funding for vital breast cancer research and education.
This is how it works:
| Employee Pledge | Actual Cost for employee that pays 22% tax | Actual cost for employee that pays 40% tax | If the employee works for a SME the donations are matched by government for 6 months so the charity receives |
| £5 per month | £3.90 | £3.00 | £10 |
| £8 per month | £6.24 | £4.80 | £16 |
| £10 per month | £7.80 | £6.00 | £20 |
Benefits for the employee giver
- Your donations are taken from your pay packet before tax is calculated, so you donate more, but pay less.
- It's hassle free, all you have to do is sign up with the payroll department and the money you pledge comes to the charity every month.
- If you work for an SME (Small/Medium Enterprise, which is a company with <500 employees) your donation will be matched by Inland Revenue for 6 months.
Benefits to the Employer
- Payroll giving can increase staff morale and may even help with recruitment.
- Payroll giving can enhance your public image.
- If you are an SME the Inland Revenue will offer you a grant to set up Payroll Giving for employees.
- Employers can go the extra mile to promote payroll giving and help Breakthrough by matching its employees' pledges.
