Gift-aid your donations:If you are a current UK tax payer, whether you are making a one-off donation or giving regularly, please remember to use gift-aid to increase the value of every £1 of your donation at no extra cost to yourself. Make an online donation today in support of our work. To find out more you can also use our online gift aid calculator.
Give through your payroll:By deducting donations before tax, payroll giving is another tax efficient way of giving - costing employees less to give more and ensuring that in this uncertain economic climate, every pound donated to KHRP can stretch that little bit further. All you need to do is ask your payroll department to deduct either a one-off or regular charitable donation from your salary to give to KHRP. Just complete and give them a copy of this payroll giving donation form or contact KHRP for more information.
Leave a legacy:The drawing up of a will, or the adding of codicil to an existing will, is a serious and personal matter. But, once family and other loved ones are catered for, a bequest to a charity is one way of ensuring that the causes you advance during your lifetime continue to flourish. A legacy to a charity is also tax-efficient in that it is exempt from inheritance tax and does not count as part of an estate.
Donate shares:Donations through shares are exempt from Capital Gains Tax and you may also be able to reduce your taxable income by the value of the donations. For shares to qualify they must be dealt on a recognised stock exchange, must be UK Authorised Unit Trust Units and be UK Open-ended investment company shares. Transferral of shares to KHRP can be arranged through your stockbroker or alternatively through the Charities Aid Foundation.
