Payroll Giving

Donate via your salary to help ZSL create a world where wildlife thrives

Payroll giving is a simple and impactful way to support ZSL's wildlife conservation. By donating directly from your pre-tax salary, you can make your contribution go further with no additional effort, all while supporting the protection of the world’s most endangered species. 

Why sign up to Payroll giving?

•    It’s so simple – Once you’re set up with your employer, it is all managed automatically through your payroll. It’s one of the easiest ways to support ZSL! 

•    Tax efficient giving – Donations are deducted before tax, and the tax relief you receive depends on your tax rate. For example, in England and Wales, a £10 donation will only cost you £8 if you’re a standard taxpayer. Please note that tax benefits may differ in Scotland. Learn more about tax relief when you donate to a charity. 

•    Double your donation - some employers offer the chance to match fund your Payroll Giving donation, meaning you can gift twice as much at no extra cost. 

I'm an employer, what should I do?

If you’re not already registered, you’ll need to sign up with an HMRC-approved payroll scheme, which you can find here. Once set up, your employees can support the causes they care about directly through their salary.
