As members of a community, many employees will have local issues and causes they feel passionate about. By recognising and supporting these charitable causes, companies demonstrate the high value they place upon the interests and concerns of their staff.
Employees can give tax-effectively direct from their pay to support their favourite causes.
They may nominate charities in advance through the Direct Donations scheme, collectively through a Staff Charity Fund, or ad hoc through a personal Charity Account . Employee Matched Giving enables companies to match funds raised by employees and is a significant staff benefit. The scheme encourages businesses to get involved with local communities and causes and can be tailored according to the budget available. Awards Programmes allow companies to reward employees who they feel have contributed significantly to the community during the year. Awards programmes can support individuals or teams and CAF can provide support in the form of written guidelines and receiving and scoring applications, reducing the burden for your own department.
