Matched Giving Programme

The Matched Giving Programme is run by Bank of Scotland Foundation and is open to all Lloyds Banking Group staff in Scotland. The programme encourages colleagues to get involved in the voluntary sector and help fundraise through personal participation in events or give their time freely to support the work of charities throughout Scotland. Every permanent Lloyds Banking Group colleague in Scotland is entitled to claim up to £1000 in each calendar year from the Matched Giving Scheme for a charity for which they have either raised money for or given time to. The Foundation will match every pound raised or donate £10 per hour of voluntary time given, to a maximum of £500 for fundraising events and/or £500 for voluntary time given, provided that the claim falls within the rules of the scheme and the charity is eligible for funding. This programme ensures funding reaches charities at a grass-roots level across Scotland, creating a lasting positive impact in local Scottish communities.
