Gift Aid and how it helps us
Heard of Gift Aid but not sure what it means? Here we'll explain how it help us at Age UK North Craven.
What is Gift Aid and how does it help Age UK North Craven?
For every £1 of value that your donations represent, we can make an extra 25p when you sign up for Gift Aid. Because we reclaim the tax from the government, it doesn’t cost you a penny more than what you've donated. The only stipulation is that you pay Tax.
How to add Gift Aid to your donation
You need to make a Gift Aid declaration so we can claim the Gift Aid on your donation. If you donate online through Just Giving, there is a Gift Aid form included. If you are donating to us by cheque, please ask us for a Gift Aid declaration.
Gift Aid on charity shop items
We can claim Gift Aid on what we make from the donations in our charity shop too. If you bring goods to our charity shop for us to sell, you can fill in the Gift Aid form at our shop to boost the value of your donated items even further. Alternatively you can download the Gift Aid form for charity shop donations here and take it in with you.
