Gift Aid it!
Gift Aid is a simple way of increasing your donation to the Edridge Fund by over a quarter with the assistance of the Inland Revenue.
- Do you pay Tax?
- Are you giving, or would you like to give, money to the Edridge Fund?
If you answered YES to both questions then you can use Gift Aid to add 28p to every £1 you give, at no extra cost to yourself.
Most of us have to pay tax. With Gift Aid, if you pay tax the Inland Revenue gives back to the charity the tax on any money donated for charitable purposes. All you need to do is fill in the Gift Aid declaration and the charity will do the rest to boost the value of your donation by 28 per cent.
If you are unsure whether your donations qualify for Gift Aid tax relief, please ask the charity or ask your local tax office for leaflet IR113 Gift Aid.
Donations can be made in various forms and can be cancelled at any time by notifying the charity. Donations could be made in any of the following ways:
- Standing order from your bank
- Direct deduction from your salary
- Cheque made payable to the Edridge Fund
