The Wellington Trust

Making your donation tax efficient

When giving to a charitable cause, you can take advantage of a wide range of available tax relief’s. These can only increase the value of your gift to us, while also making it more tax-efficient for yourself.

If you pay income tax or capital gains tax in the UK, the value of your donation can be increased by 28% through a Gift Aid Declaration. One Gift Aid Declaration covers any and all donations you make from UK taxable income and enables us to claim back tax on your donation. So a gift of £1,000 will actually be worth £1,280 to us. Gifts can also be spread over a number of years. So if you were to donate £1,000 each year for five years, the total value of your gift to us would be £6,400, even though the cost to you is only £5,000. If you are sending us a cheque, please make it payable to The Wellington Trust.
