Donations can be made and they assist
us in making grants or providing services for people in need in
the City of Bristol.
Setting up a fund
Modern day benefactors are invited
to establish a named endowment fund.
In the case of a named endowment
fund, the capital sum is invested and the income, that it generates,
is used to fund grants for ever more.
Legacies
People often decide to leave a legacy
which will support an aspect of our work, for example residential
or day services for older people, or grants to those in need.
We would normally agree the beneficiaries that people
want to assist.
Gift Aid
Gift Aid is a scheme that allows
us to increase the value of donations by 28%.
If you are an individual taxpayer, all you need do is inform us
to treat all your donations as Gift Aid donations. We can then claim
back from the Inland Revenue the basic tax you have already paid
on this money. With Gift Aid, a £100 donation becomes £128.21.
If you are a higher rate taxpayer; following a donation of £100,
we reclaim the basic tax (£28.21) and you reclaim the extra
tax on your next self assessment form.
