  • Employee Giving

    Employees can set up and manage Payroll Giving instructions - tax-free charity deductions from their salaries as part of your company’s Payroll Giving Programme.

    They can also participate in GivingPennies, whereby they can choose to round their salary down to the nearest pound, and donate the pennies portion to company charity partners.

  • Employee Volunteering

    Employees can record the valuable time they’ve spent volunteering and share the benefits and impacts of their actions.

    They can also share photos and stories of their voluntary activities for the internal ‘story wall’ to help inspire colleagues to volunteer.

  • Company Matching

    Administrators can set up company matching rules and limits and control what gets matched based on designated budget and company goals.

    Employees can clearly see what is available to them and request that their donations, fundraising and volunteering time are matched in accordance with the rules set out.

  • GivingForce Charity Database

    Access to a database of more than 55,000 global charities and nonprofits that have been pre-vetted by our in-house Charity Due Diligence Team, so your employees and you can donate, volunteer and match with confidence.

    New organisations can also be investigated, checked and introduced.

  • GivingForce Charity Payments

    Processing charitable payments for your company is simplified with the need to send just one payment each month to our partner agency, the GivingForce Foundation, a registered charity and authorised payment agency.

    The GivingForce Foundation will then make payments to beneficiary charities on your company’s behalf, taking away the need for your company to make multiple payments.

  • Impact Reports

    Administrators can access reports on all aspects of your company’s giving programmes, to track employee engagement and donations made; develop strategies for giving programmes; and report on their impact for ESG purposes.

    They can also manage all aspects of your giving programmes, including rule setting and reviewing applications in a few clicks, saving them time and resources.
