Love Giving - Workplace Giving Scheme

The University has launched a Workplace Giving Scheme to help you donate on a regular or one off basis via your pay to the causes you care most about. This way of giving is the only method of giving that allows your charity to receive the full taxable amount automatically every month. This means for regular 20% tax payers you can give £5.00 from your take home pay and this instantly becomes £6.25 to your charity. Find out more about how you can boost your giving via www.manchester.ac.uk/workplacegiving
