Give As You Earn is an easy and the most tax-effective way for you to support Gearing Up 4 Gorillas.

You simply let your payroll department know that you want to participate. You say how much you want to give and which charity you want to give to, and they sort out the rest. With Give As You Earn, you give directly from your pre-tax salary, so money that would normally go to the taxman goes to charity instead.

Give As You Earn is incredibly flexible – you can give as much or as little as you like and G4G benefits because we will know we have funds coming regularly and can plan for the longer long term.

To join Give As You Earn ask your employer if they offer the scheme. If your employer is already contracted in to the scheme ‘Give As You Earn Donor Instruction Forms’ should be available for you to fill in. You just simply choose ‘Gearing Up 4 Gorillas’ as the charity that you wish to receive your donations.

A ‘Matched Giving Scheme’ is also available, enabling your company to boost employee donations even further. Your employer must be registered with Give As You Earn to make donations on your behalf.

If your employer is not contracted in already, registration is free.
