Payroll Giving Quality Mark

The Payroll Giving Quality Mark was introduced in 2006. It is funded by HM Government, administered and promoted by the Institute of Fundraising. It recognises and rewards organisations of all sizes for making Payroll Giving available to their staff.

The Quality Mark comprises a certificate and logo, as well as Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards. Awards are available for organisations that achieve minimum staff participation rates and employer support as outlined below:

• Bronze Award - 1% employee participation in Payroll Giving
• Silver Award - 5% employee participation in Payroll Giving
• Gold Award - 10% employee participation in Payroll Giving and the employer must either pay the administration charge, match donations or have carried out an active promotion of Payroll Giving over the previous year.

At its most basic level, employers with a Payroll Giving scheme will receive a certificate and logo for use on your letterheads, websites and other literature. This acknowledges that you have implemented Payroll Giving and demonstrates your commitment to the good causes your employees care about.

About the Awards

The Awards reward employers for fostering a culture of committed giving in the workplace by actively promoting Payroll Giving.
