Making Your Donations go 28% Further
As a supporter of Seacology UK, you will know how hard we work to ensure that every penny we raise goes as far as it can to conserve island environments and cultures. Through Gift Aid, you can help us make your donations go 28% further and it won't cost you a penny!
How does it work?
So long as you are a UK taxpayer, Gift Aid enables you to boost the value of your donations by 28p for every £1 you give (25p in Gift Aid and a further 3p in Transitional Relief) to your favourite charity. So, for example, if you decide to give £10 to Seacology UK, we will be able to reclaim an extra £2.80 from HM Revenue & Customs. It might not sound like a lot, but every penny really does count! What is more, if you are a higher rate taxpayer, you are entitled to claim tax relief on your donations, enabling you to reclaim as much as 25p from every £1 donated to charity.
Click on the attached Gift Aid calculator to see just how far your gift aided donations will go!
What do you need to do?
To donate through Gift Aid, all you need to do is utilize Seacology UK's JustGiving web page. When you donate, you will be asked to confirm whether or not you are a UK taxpayer. JustGiving will process your donation and reclaim Gift Aid on our behalf (charging us a small fee for these services).If you pay tax at the higher rate, your JustGiving account helps you claim tax relief by keeping an accurate record of your donations. Simply print out a copy of your donation history and attach it to your tax return.
If you are not a UK taxpayer, you can still make a donation through JustGiving, but your donation will not attract Gift Aid.
