Purpose
Employees donate a small amount from their salary each month — just like lunch deductions or pension contributions. You control payroll. They control their impact.
Like lunch deductions. But for the world.
Payroll Giving lets employees opt in to donate a small, fixed amount from their salary each month. It's the same mechanism as pension contributions or lunch schemes — simple, habitual, and effortless.
The deduction happens at payroll. Actnation handles the distribution to the charities the employee has chosen. No bank transfers, no manual processing, no follow-up.
For employees, it's one of the easiest ways to make giving a regular part of life — without it ever feeling like a chore.
Lunch deduction
A fixed amount for the canteen — employees opt in once, and it just happens.
Pension contribution
A percentage of salary routed automatically to a long-term benefit. Invisible. Consistent.
Payroll Giving
Same logic. A fixed amount routed monthly to causes the employee chooses. Automated, trackable, meaningful.
Fully automated with Zenegy
If your company uses Zenegy, Actnation connects directly — no manual CSV, no monthly email, no extra steps for your payroll team. Deductions sync automatically each period.
Employees adjust their giving from within Actnation and the change is reflected in the next payroll cycle — completely hands-off for HR and finance.

Payroll Giving is one part of the Actnation platform
Actnation offers Payroll Giving alongside Corporate Giving and Corporate Gifting on the same platform. Employees manage their salary donations in their Payroll Giving portal, and their Corporate Giving votes and received donation gifts in a separate portal — both reachable from the same login.
HR and finance teams get a full picture of company-wide giving activity across both portals, ready to reference for CSR reporting, ESG filings, or board decks.
