Gift Aid - Don't let the taxman keep your money!
By Gift Aiding your donations they are worth almost a third more to us, at no extra cost to you!
If you are a higher-rate tax payer then you can also claim additional tax relief of 23p for every £1 donated!
What we need to enable us to claim Gift Aid:
- Your full name and home address (complete and return a Gift Aid Declaration Form.doc / Gift Aid Declaration Form.pdf)
- A donation made from a personal bank or building society account - cheques made payable to: Birmingham Community Foundation (*we cannot claim Gift Aid on donations from company accounts)
- For you to be paying income tax or capital gains tax which at least equals the amount the Birmingham Community Foundation will claim in the tax year.
*As a company: Simply gross up the amount of your donation to the Birmingham Community Foundation, and claim a full tax rebate on that amount through your corporation tax return.
