Sorry you failed

Ah but... you weren't there at that momentous time of 8.50 when I did, in fact, succeed!

My work here is done...

The only catch is thay they dont pay out untill the first payroll donation has been made. No specified minimum but it does mean signing up to a payroll giving agent and sorting the payroll process at your end, or getting your accounatnt to do it anyway.

Sod the charity. Pay the cash out and burn it.

After working for a couple of charities indirectly, they are cash wasters. When they spend nearly £100k on some intranet software for 50 staff then you can see exactly what we're talking about.

My ethics will match theirs.

Looks like a winner to me...although ethically I think I would have to donate the grant (or at least the difference between the grant and what I have paid i.e. profity).

That way I can advertise on my company site that we support a charity...can't beat a bit of good PR...and it won't cost me a penny

Although lets not kid ourselves, its us that Gord is getting the grants from in the first place!

not seen it before, so thanks for posting this. Can't see any actual catches (though the ethics of not donating the grant to charity look a little dodgy to me).

I'll be signing up, there's a monkey rescue centre for chimps with RSI that I've been meaning to help out for while....

This really seems too good to be true:
www.payrollgivinggrants.org

You can get a grant of several hundred pounds by setting up a payroll giving scheme. So, basically, you can give a little through your own payroll and get even more back as a grant for setting up this scheme. Whether you want to donate this grant to charity or not is upto you.

Has anyone done this?
