Gift Aid
Under the Gift Aid Scheme, if you are a UK taxpayer, the value of your donation will increase because we can reclaim money from HM Revenue and Customs.
How does it work?
Gift Aid is a valuable source of extra funding for GISDA. The scheme makes your donations go further. For every £1 you donate, we can reclaim an additional 25 pence at no cost to you.
If you are paying tax at the higher rate of 40%, you may also benefit by reclaiming some money from Revenue and Customs through your self-assessment tax return form. Please contact HM Revenue and Customs for more information.
Leaving a Gift in your Will
One way in which you may like to support us is by leaving a legacy to GISDA in your will. Or you can donate or arrange a collection at a funeral in memory of a loved one
Changes to inheritance tax legislation effective from the 2012/13 tax year: From April 2012, if you leave 10% or more of your estate on death to charity, then the rate of inheritance tax on the part of your estate that is chargeable will be reduced from 40% to 36%.
If you would like to leave something for GISDA in your will you simply need to:
- For a new will – write a will and provide details of your donation
- For an existing will – make an amendment to it
- Set up a Trust
You may wish to get advice from a Solicitor who will be able to tell you more.
If you are interested in making a donation to GISDA, please contact us by e-mail or telephone to let us know.
Corporate Support - Partner With Us
Support from businesses is very important part of fundraising for Gisda. This is a rewarding experience for businesses and employees who also contribute to their community. Employers can also engage in Corporate Social Responsibility schemes.
We are very keen to work together with businesses in Gwynedd, North Wales and beyond to ensure positive change to the lives of homeless and/or vulnerable people in Gwynedd.
Corporate fundraising can be diverse and exciting and there are many ways in which businesses can help – these are just a few:
- Payroll Giving - see more below
- Charity of the Year Sponsorship
- Volunteering staff for Gisda fundraising events
- Sponsored events
- Match-funding fundraising events
- Arrange a fundraising event
Payroll Giving
Payroll giving is simple to run, flexible and a great way for staff to give to charity through PAYE. People who receive their company/personal pension through PAYE can participate too.
With deductions made before tax, each donation goes that little bit further – adding to that feel-good factor of helping GISDA through the workplace.

With deductions made before tax, each donation goes that little bit further – adding to that feel-good factor of helping GISDA through the workplace.
For example, it would cost an employee who pays tax at the basic rate of 20% just £8 to make a £10 donation to charity. And it would cost an employee who pays tax at the higher rate of 40% just £6 to make the same sized donation.
The deducted money goes to an Inland Revenue-approved Payroll Giving Agency, such as the Charities Aid Foundation, and they do the rest – sending the donated monies directly to us.
You can find out more about Payroll Giving and approved agencies on the HMRC website.
Alternatively, head straight to the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) website for more information on their Give As You Earn scheme.
