Give more with Gift Aid!
For every £1 donated by a UK tax payer, Soft Power Education will receive an additional 28p. Soft Power Education can claim Gift Aid tax relief of 25p on every pound you give. HMRC will also be operating transitional provisions for Gift Aid donations made from 6 April 2008 until 5 April 2011, paying a Government supplement of 3p on every pound you give.
Just think about it for one second.. if you fundraise £1000 we could potentially add another £280 to your donation just through Gift Aid!
What do I need to do for Soft Power Education to be able to claim Gift Aid?
If you are doing a sponsored event then just make sure you include a 'Gift Aid It' box for people to tick and that they include their full address including postcode. You'll need to include the sentence below on the form somewhere too:
Please note: You must have paid at least an amount of income tax or capital gains tax equal to the tax we reclaim on your donation each year. This will entitle us to gain an additional 28% on your money; this makes a huge difference.
If you are making a one off donation then we can claim Gift Aid if you complete the Gift Aid Declaration and return it to the following address:
Soft Power Education, 55 Guildhall Street, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, IP33 1QF
If you are holding a sponsored event please use our Sponsor Form and ask any UK tax payers sponsoring you to complete the details on the form to enable us to claim Gift Aid. Please send your sponsor form with all the details on to the address above after your event.
