Make your donation go even further with Gift Aid.
By completing a Gift Aid form we can claim extra money on donations you have given in the past. All it takes is a quick tick. For every £1 you donate we can claim back a further 25p. So, if you have given a donation to Orpheus, and are eligible, please download and fill out a Gift Aid form today.
This will not cost you anything, but will help us on our way to our fundraising target of £1 million!
As a donor, you must:
“Gift Aid is such an easy way to support the Orpheus Centre. It only takes a moment to complete the form and it’s great knowing that I’m continuing to support the charity, helping students to follow their dreams, even after I have made a donation.” – Russell, Orpheus Supporter
It’s a scheme introduced by the government which allows charities to reclaim the tax that supporters have already paid on their donations. For every £1 donated, the taxman gives Orpheus an extra 25p, so our income from your donations increases by an extra quarter.
Please note that we will not claim gift aid from sales of goods or services or in exchange for entry to an event or raffle ticket.
If you are a UK taxpayer and have paid enough income or capital gains tax in the UK, in relation to the financial year to cover the amount we’ll reclaim, then yes: please complete a Gift Aid declaration.
Please inform us if you are no longer an eligible tax payer, want to cancel you’re declaration, change your name or address, so we can update our records accordingly.
If you pay income tax at the higher or additional rate and want to receive the additional tax relief due to you, you must include all your Gift Aid donations on your self-assessment tax return or ask HM Revenue and Customs to adjust your tax code.
We can still claim the full 25 per cent on your donations, providing you pay at least as much tax as we will be reclaiming in the year in which you made your gifts. As a pensioner, for example, you may still pay tax on a private pension scheme or a savings account, or pay Capital Gains Tax if you sell property or shares.
