# How to run a corporate giving programme across multiple countries (2026 guide)

29 September 2026 · 11 min read · GivingForce

A multi-country giving programme works when three things are settled for every country: which charities qualify for tax relief there, which sanctions and data rules apply, and how each donation is converted, paid and reconciled. Get those right and a single platform can run giving in dozens of countries with one audit trail.

On 14 September 2026 the Charities Aid Foundation's Corporate Giving Report 2026 found that FTSE 100 companies now give 0.8% of pre-tax profits, down from 1.7% in 2009. Just 27% of UK businesses support charities in any form. The same report found two-thirds of employees want their employer to give. Global employers who want to close that gap face a practical problem first. Staff in London, Toronto and Dublin need to give to causes they care about without anyone breaking a tax or sanctions rule.

This guide sets out the rules that change at each border, a checklist for compliance, how to handle currencies, and how to report impact across the whole organisation. It draws on primary sources from HMRC, the IRS, the Canada Revenue Agency, Ireland's Revenue, OFSI and the EU.

Tax and sanctions rules change often. Treat this guide as a map of the questions to ask, and confirm the detail with local advisers before you launch in each country.

## What makes corporate giving harder across borders?

**Tax relief, charity eligibility and the rules on money and personal data all change country by country, so one global policy needs local settings underneath it.**

A programme that works in one country rarely transfers unchanged. Three things shift when you cross a border:

- **Tax relief.** Each country decides how donors get relief, and most tie it to charities registered at home.
- **Charity eligibility.** A charity registered in one country is usually a foreign organisation for tax purposes in another.
- **Money and data rules.** Sanctions lists, payment rules and data protection law all follow the jurisdiction, not your head office.

The UK shows how quickly this can move. Since April 2024, non-UK charities no longer qualify for UK charitable tax reliefs, including EU and EEA charities that had previously qualified. Only charities under the control of a UK court now count as UK charities for tax purposes, according to HMRC's policy paper of 15 March 2023.

Record each gift in the currency it left the payslip in, then convert at a documented rate and date.

## How does employee giving tax relief differ by country?

**Relief usually depends on where the employee pays tax and where the charity is registered, and the mechanism ranges from at-source relief to credits claimed later.**

The table below compares four markets. Each row cites its source.

| Country | How employees get relief | Company donations | Giving to charities abroad | Source |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| United Kingdom | Payroll Giving is taken before income tax but after National Insurance, through an approved Payroll Giving agency. £1 costs a basic rate taxpayer 80p, a higher rate taxpayer 60p and an additional rate taxpayer 55p (Scotland ranges from 81p to 52p). Gift Aid adds 25p per £1 on other gifts. | Limited companies deduct donations from profits before Corporation Tax. | Since April 2024, only charities under a UK court's control qualify for UK reliefs. | GOV.UK |
| United States | Employees deduct gifts only if they itemise on Schedule A. Cash gifts to public charities are generally capped at 60% of adjusted gross income. | Not covered in this guide. | Gifts to foreign organisations are generally not deductible, except certain Canadian, Israeli and Mexican charities under tax treaties, with conditions. | IRS Publication 526 (2025) |
| Canada | Non-refundable federal and provincial or territorial tax credits, claimed with an official donation receipt from a qualified donee. Generally capped at 75% of net income. | Not covered in this guide. | Only named foreign qualified donees count, such as CRA-registered universities abroad, registered foreign charities that received a gift from the Government of Canada, and the United Nations and its agencies. | CRA Guide P113 (2025) |
| Ireland | For donations of €250 or more to an approved body, the charity claims a refund of the tax the donor paid. | A company giving €250 or more in a year to an approved body deducts it as if it were a trading expense. | The recipient must be an approved body. | Revenue.ie |

### Why one global charity list does not give everyone the same relief

**A shared charity database is useful, but the relief each employee receives still depends on their own tax residence and the charity's registration.**

Picture a UK employee and a US employee who both give to the same UK-registered charity through one platform. The UK employee can give through Payroll Giving with relief at source. The US employee generally cannot deduct the gift, because IRS Publication 526 treats most foreign organisations as non-deductible.

The US employee can still give. The portal should tell them, before they do, whether the gift is tax-efficient where they live.

### Record-keeping differs too

US employees who give by payroll deduction need a pledge card or similar document showing the charity's name, plus a pay stub or Form W-2 showing the amount withheld. For single contributions of $250 or more, the IRS also requires a written acknowledgment from the charity. Your platform's records need to produce both.

## What compliance checks does a global giving programme need?

**Every country needs checks on charity eligibility, sanctions, data transfers and payments, with records that an auditor can follow from payslip to charity.**

Use this checklist as the backbone of your programme design. The "where to check" column points to the primary source for each item.

| Check | What to confirm in each country | Why it matters | Where to check |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Charity eligibility | The charity is registered, active and qualifies for relief in the donor's country | Relief depends on local registration rules | HMRC, IRS, CRA, Revenue.ie and local regulators |
| Equivalency or local registration | Whether a foreign charity has a local entity or treaty route | Avoids promising relief that does not exist | Tax treaty rules, such as those in IRS Publication 526 |
| Sanctions screening | No charity, trustee or bank is on the UK, EU or US lists | Sending funds to a designated person is unlawful without a licence | UK Sanctions List, EU Consolidated Financial Sanctions List, OFAC SDN List |
| Data protection | Employee donation data leaves the country only on a lawful basis | Transfers outside the UK must meet UK GDPR Article 44A | legislation.gov.uk, ICO guidance |
| Currency conversion | The rate, date and any fees are recorded and shown to donors | Donors and auditors need to see what the charity received | Your payment provider's statements |
| Payment reconciliation | Every deduction matches a payment to a named charity | Shows money reached its destination | Your platform's audit trail |
| Reporting currency and SDG mapping | One reporting currency and a consistent impact taxonomy | Makes country results comparable for the board | Your reporting tool, UN SDG framework |

### Charity eligibility and due diligence

**Check each charity against its home regulator before it goes live, then keep checking, because a charity's status can change after approval.**

UK Charity Commission guidance on due diligence says the greater the risks, the more trustees need to do, and that funds should be monitored to check they reach their destination and are used as intended. Corporate programmes are not charity trustees, but the same proportionate approach protects employees and the brand. Our guide to [charity due diligence](https://www.givingforce.com/charity-due-diligence) covers the checks in more detail.

### Sanctions screening across UK, EU and US lists

**Screen every charity against each list that applies to your entities, because UK, EU and US sanctions each bind different people and businesses.**

- **UK.** OFSI guidance for charities says it is against the law to send money or economic resources to a person or organisation under financial sanctions without a licence. Since 28 January 2026 the UK Sanctions List has been the only source of UK designations; the old OFSI Consolidated List is closed.
- **EU.** EU restrictive measures bind EU nationals and anyone located or doing business in the EU. The European Commission publishes the EU Consolidated Financial Sanctions List and the EU Sanctions Map.
- **US.** Under OFAC FAQ 91, US persons are generally prohibited from dealing with anyone on the Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List, and their property in US hands is blocked.

A company with staff in all three jurisdictions needs all three lists checked, and checked again when the lists update.

### Data protection when employee data crosses borders

**Donation records reveal personal choices, so treat international transfers of that data with the same care as payroll data.**

UK GDPR Article 44A, in force since 5 February 2026 under the Data (Use and Access) Act 2025, allows a transfer to a third country only if regulations approve it, appropriate safeguards are in place, or a specific derogation applies. EU entities follow the EU GDPR rules. Ask any platform where employee data is hosted and which transfer mechanism covers it.

## How should multi-currency donations be handled?

**Record each gift in the employee's currency, convert at a documented rate and date, and report in one company currency without losing the original figures.**

Currency is where good programmes lose the trust of employees and finance teams. A simple set of rules prevents most problems:

1. **Capture the original amount.** Store the gift in the currency it left the payslip in.
2. **Record the conversion.** Keep the exchange rate, the date it was applied and any fees.
3. **Show donors what arrives.** Tell employees what the charity will receive after conversion.
4. **Set matching caps locally.** A cap set in pounds means something different in rupees or Canadian dollars, so set it per currency.
5. **Pay charities in their own currency** where you can, so the charity carries less exchange risk.
6. **Report in one currency** for the board, with the local figures available underneath.

These rules also make reconciliation faster. When every deduction carries its original amount and exchange rate, a finance team can trace any payment back to the payslip.

## How do you track giving impact across the whole organisation?

**Give every charity a single record and every gift the same impact categories, so results from each country roll up without manual re-keying.**

Global reporting fails when each country keeps its own spreadsheet. The fix is structural:

- **One charity record.** Each charity has a single ID, whatever country the gift came from.
- **One taxonomy.** Map every donation, volunteer hour and grant to the same categories, such as the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals.
- **Participation as well as pounds.** Track how many employees give in each country alongside the total.

Participation is the number boards overlook. HMRC's statistics, updated 1 July 2026, show £131 million donated through UK Payroll Giving in the year to April 2025, from 475,000 employees. That is down from 504,000 the year before. If participation is low at home, it is rarely higher abroad.

Regulation is part of the picture for EU groups. Directive (EU) 2026/470, the Omnibus I directive, entered into force on 18 March 2026. It narrows mandatory sustainability reporting under the CSRD to EU companies with more than 1,000 employees and over €450 million net turnover, and member states must transpose the CSRD changes by 19 March 2027. Fewer companies are in scope, but those that are need social data they can defend. Our article on [board-ready impact reporting after CSRD](https://www.givingforce.com/blog/board-ready-impact-reporting-after-csrd) goes further.

## One global platform or local schemes in each country?

**A single system gives one audit trail and comparable data. Separate providers can suit one market, but they multiply contracts, checks and reports.**

| Factor | One global platform | Separate local schemes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Audit trail | One trail across every country | One per provider, joined by hand |
| Charity checks | One due diligence standard | Varies by provider |
| Sanctions screening | Applied once, consistently | Depends on each provider |
| Employee experience | Same portal, local rules shown | Different portal per country |
| Reporting | Rolls up automatically | Manual consolidation |
| Local tax fit | Needs local configuration per country | Built for one country |

Most multinational employers end up with a hybrid: one platform as the system of record, configured for local tax and payroll rules in each country.

## How to launch a multi-country giving programme

**Launch in a sensible order: set policy, check rules per country, connect payroll, vet charities, pilot, then scale.**

1. **Set one global giving policy.** Agree causes, exclusions, matching rules and budgets once.
2. **Map the rules per country.** Use the tax table and checklist above as your starting questions.
3. **Connect payroll.** Decide where giving runs through payroll and where it runs as card or bank giving.
4. **Vet the charity list.** Screen every charity for registration, sanctions and ongoing status.
5. **Pilot in two or three countries.** Choose countries with different rules so you test the edge cases early.
6. **Scale and report.** Add countries in waves, with one reporting currency from day one.

> A shared charity list is useful. The relief each employee gets still depends on where they pay tax.

## How GivingForce runs global giving programmes

**Payroll giving, matching, volunteering, grants, payments and reporting sit on one system across 76 countries, with a single audit trail.**

This section describes our own platform. The steps above apply whichever provider you choose.

- **One charity database.** Employees choose from 70,000+ vetted charities across 76 countries. Every charity is screened by CauseCheck, with AML screening, sanctions checks and ongoing monitoring. See the [global charity database](https://www.givingforce.com/global-charity-database).
- **One payment route.** Every donation flows through the GivingForce Foundation, our registered charity and an HMRC-recognised Payroll Giving Agency. Companies receive one monthly invoice, with full reconciliation on every payment in every country. See [charity payments](https://www.givingforce.com/charity-payments).
- **Payroll integration.** API or file-based integration with payroll systems, including Workday, SAP SuccessFactors and Oracle Cloud HCM. See [payroll giving](https://www.givingforce.com/payroll-giving).
- **One reporting layer.** Real-time ESG dashboards, with every donation, volunteer hour and grant aligned to the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. See [impact reporting](https://www.givingforce.com/reporting).

More than 1 million employees have given through GivingForce, and more than £500 million has been donated through the GivingForce Foundation.

Ejaz Rashid, Founder and CEO of GivingForce, sums up the design principle as "technology that serves the human decision". The employee chooses the cause, and the compliance work sits underneath that choice.

## FAQ

### Can employees in different countries give to the same charity?

Yes, but tax relief may differ. A UK-registered charity usually qualifies for UK reliefs, while US employees generally cannot deduct gifts to foreign organisations, apart from certain Canadian, Israeli and Mexican charities under treaties.

### How do corporate giving platforms handle multiple currencies?

A well-run platform records each gift in its original currency, converts it at a documented rate and date, shows donors what the charity receives, and reports in one company currency.

### Which sanctions lists should a global giving programme check?

Check every list that binds your entities: the UK Sanctions List for the UK, the EU Consolidated Financial Sanctions List for EU operations, and OFAC's SDN List for US persons.

### Do UK tax reliefs apply to donations to overseas charities?

No. Since April 2024, only charities under the control of a UK court qualify for UK charitable tax reliefs. That includes EU and EEA charities that previously qualified.

### Does the CSRD require companies to report on corporate giving?

The CSRD requires sustainability reporting, not giving figures specifically. After the Omnibus I directive, mandatory reporting covers EU companies with over 1,000 employees and €450 million net turnover.
