What is A Corporate Charity Account (CCA)?

This account is for companies who want to distribute company donations and raise money for good causes. Funds that are raised from suppliers and associates, as well as your own corporate donations can be held in the account.  Employees can also fundraise and pay money into your CCA; this is especially useful when you have sites based around the country.  The CCA ensures that all the monies are in one account separate from your business accounts and profits.  Cash from fundraising can be paid in on a daily basis, thus preventing cash being onsite and the security implications this could cause. Charities Trust carries out all the administration on your behalf-saving you time, resources and manpower.

The Benefits
