Giving Shares

Payroll Giving
With Payroll Giving you can give to charity straight from your gross salary (before tax is deducted). Your gift donation is deducted from your gross salary so for every £1 you give it will only cost you 80p (or only 60p if you are a higher rate tax payer). It also allows you to give more for less, as the tax that would normally be paid to the government can be gifted to the charity too!
Ask your HR or payroll department if they operate a Payroll Giving scheme. If they do, please consider a gift to Gordonstoun and let your payroll department know who you want to give to and how much. Some employers also match-fund their Payroll Giving schemes, providing additional payments to your charity of choice, so ask about that as well!
Gift Aid
If you are eligible. please remember to add Gift Aid when making your gift and the school will receive an extra 25% on top of your donation.
