Corporate Partnerships

Fundraising
Payroll Giving
Payroll Giving is a way of giving money to charity without paying tax on it. It’s a really simple way of donating to CASPA, as it simply comes out of your PAYE every month. Payroll giving is easy to set up, and helps CASPA get regular income in a way that is also tax efficient for you and your colleagues.
- Speak to your Payroll/HR department to see if they already have a scheme in place, or they can register with a provider such as CAF or Charities Trust
- Once your employer is set up, register your payroll gift
- Your employer will then deduct the donation from your salary before tax – they may even match your donation to CASPA.
Match Funding
Does your company offer Match Funding?
Match funding is a simple way of maximising the amount of money/funds CASPA can raise.
An increasing number of large companies operate a match funding scheme whereby they “match” charity fundraising undertaken by their employees. The amounts donated range from approximately £250 to £1000+ per employee per event.
As CASPA is a registered charity we are in a position to benefit from your involvement, however big or small, at any fundraising event. Your participation might be, for example, managing a stall or helping with the raffle. Both qualify as assisting with fundraising.
Some organisations will match fund on a £ for £ basis, others will stipulate what they are prepared to give. Some companies will also pledge time and resources instead of money. Barclays for example offer their employees the opportunity to match funds they raise for their chosen charity up to £750 per year. In 2010 with match funding Barclays employees raised a staggering 18 million pounds for charities of their choice.
Applying for match funding is a simple process which involves a call to your company HR department. They will then send you a form that CASPA can help you to complete confirming your involvement and once approved CASPA will receive a cheque from the Charities Aid Foundation for the respective amount.

Working With Your CSR Team
Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives usually fall within four main areas:
- Workplace – What is the best way to look after your employees and other workers?
- Market Place – What impact do the charity services have in the community?
- Environment–How can we improve our environmental impact locally?
- Community – How can your organisation contribute to CASPA with a positive outcome?
Corporate Responsibility matters, because wider societal issues matter to people. In ‘doing the right thing’ by your stakeholders and sharing the same values, your organisation will see the benefits-from brand enhancement and reputation to building employee engagement. It, therefore, makes good business sense to operate sustainably with CASPA!
