He who does not honor the cent is not worth the euro. Who knows this proverb?

With the Rest-Cent Donation (also known as Payroll Giving), employees voluntarily donate the small cent amounts behind the comma of their net salary. For example: someone earning €2,456.78 donates €0.78 each month. It may seem small – but as part of a micro donation partnership, these tiny contributions can make a big difference in children’s lives, especially when pooled across an entire company.

Why does it make sense – for your company too?

Here's why

Collective Impact – with Minimal Effort

  • Just 100 employees can generate several thousand euros per year – enough to fund school meals, educational materials, or medical care in our projects in Kenya.

Boost Motivation & Team Spirit

  • Studies show: **Employees feel more engaged when their company enables meaningful contributions.**¹

  • The Rest-Cent Donation empowers employees to give back – without any noticeable financial burden.

Strengthen Your CSR Profile

  • Looking to increase your company’s social responsibility? Payroll Giving is an easy and credible CSR tool – ideal for ESG reports and sustainability goals.

Important aspects – Tax and social security

For the donations from the salary components it may be only the net salary. This means, only after the deductions of the income tax as well as the social security contributions, the cent amount can be withheld from the net salary as a donation.

Provided that the person has agreed to the donation of the “remainder cent”, the net amount minus the cent amount is then paid into the account. This monthly donation of the remainder cent can then be collected and transferred to UNDER Lea’s TRUST at your companies own pace.

If your company decides to increase the donation amount, there is also the possibility to receive a donation receipt. Of course, this can also be used for the public regarding the commitment of your company.
