Promoting Payroll Giving without a PFO Elizabeth Wright Community Development Co-ordinator
Background • SIA started Payroll Giving through a consortium in 2001 – 04 • Recruited 50 payroll givers • Started again in 2008 • Now have 104 donors
Payroll Giving Now at SIA? • Use a PFO for large companies which we would not have access to • Large base of solicitors as corporate supporters • Executive Director, Corporate Development and Community Development have developed strategy to increase payroll giving with these supporters
Process • Letter goes to named contact at firm from Executive Director • Results in an invitation for a meeting – usually a presentation • A short window of opportunity to present to all employees – benefits of payroll giving
Presentation • Payroll presentation to the staff usually Community Development with back up from Corporate Development • Give each person present a payroll giving form • Ask them to hand it in before we leave the office
We try to make things easier • Have the agency forms already filled in – all you would need is a signature – offer to send forms off for them. • Try and work in partnership with your corporate dept • A short window of opportunity to present to all employees – benefits of payroll giving
Disadvantages • Only a small window of opportunity to make your case • No staff canteens as small offices so cannot talk to everyone individually • We have recruited 25 new donors in this way in two years
