DONATION & GIFT AID FORM

Donate directly from your salary

You can give to us as you earn by donating straight from your salary if your employer runs a Payroll Giving scheme. Because donations are taken from your pay before tax is deducted, it ‘costs’ you just 80p for every £1 donated if you are a basic rate taxpayer (60p for higher rate taxpayers). If your employer does not have a Payroll Giving scheme they can register with an agency such as CAF Donate.

Donate by direct debit

By giving regularly you can make a huge difference even with just a few pounds per month, helping to give us a regular and sustainable stream of income so we can commit to doing even more to support our partner schools and others in the region.

Frequently asked questions

How will you spend my donation?

We will direct your donation to wherever the funds are needed most. Whatever size your gift we can assure you that it will be spent effectively and prudently. Currently, we spend about 90p in every £1 on charitable activities including direct programme/project expenditure and support costs. The remaining 10p is spent on fundraising activities to help us raise more funds and on administration to ensure that the charity is effectively governed. In 2018/19 we raised £16 for every £1 spent on fundraising activities.

 

Are any fees deducted from my donation?

None of our partners deduct any platform fees from donations however GlobalGiving and JustGiving give the option for donors to add a voluntary contribution to their donation towards the cost of maintaining and running their platforms.

Each platform will deduct a small payment processing fee from your donation as follows:

CAF Donate – 2-3% depending on the payment method you use plus a one-off flat fee of £1 for each new direct debit arrangement;

GlobalGiving – 3% on all donations;

JustGiving – 1.9% +20p (2.9% for foreign currency donations) plus 5% from any Gift Aid
