Ever wondered what Gift Aid is all about? Let us break it down for you! What is Gift Aid? - Gift Aid is a government scheme that boosts your donations. - For every £1 you donate, we can claim an extra 25p from the government. That means your generosity goes even further, with an additional 25% on top of your donation! How does it work? - If you're a UK taxpayer and the tax you pay in a year equals or exceeds the total of your donations to any charity, the money donated belongs to you. It's that simple! - When making your next donation to PSS, simply click the box to apply for Gift Aid. What if I'm a regular donor? - If you've set up a regular donation and haven't selected the Gift Aid option, no worries! Just inform our team at Fundraising@PregnancySicknessSupport.org.uk, and we'll ensure your contributions go further.

🌟 Are you familiar with Gift Aid ❓ In basic terms, Gift Aid allows charities to claim an extra 25p for every £1 donated by taxpayers, boosting the value of donations at no extra cost to donors. By simply checking a box and confirming taxpayer status, donors can make their contributions go further for the causes they support 💡 However, the latest research of its kind by the Charity Finance Group and Charities Aid Foundation (CAF), estimated that charities are missing out on up to £500 million annually as a quarter of eligible donors say they do not claim Gift Aid when they give to charity 🤯 When you create a charitable foundation with GivingWorks, we take care of Gift Aid administration for you. Our team will claim Gift Aid on donations made by UK taxpayers at the basic rate (25%) and add it to your account, the same rate is applied whether or not the cause you are supporting is a charitable cause based in the UK or overseas 💙 #giftaid #charitablefoundations #charity #philanthropy

10/10 This Thursday, October 10th (10/10), is the first-ever #DAFday - a day for giving through your Donor-Advised Fund (DAF). At Chariot, we’ve seen how DAFs benefit both donors and nonprofits. Donors are more likely to give and do so with intention, while nonprofits see donors stick around longer and increase their giving by 96% when using a DAF. If you don’t have a DAF, I encourage you to open one and make your first DAF donation on 10/10. Opening a DAF is free and can be done in less than 10 minutes—just search for your preferred provider on Google. If you do have a DAF, I encourage you to donate a meaningful percentage (say 10%?) on #DAFday, and let others know you are doing so as well. We all know the stats, seeing others give makes one more likely to do so. I will be giving around 80% of my DAF to Sefaria, charity: water, and Aventura Chabad on #DAFday. Join me!!

🎄 #FraudTipFriday: Give from the Heart, Give Smart! The holiday season brings out generosity - and unfortunately, scammers who try to take advantage of it. Here's how to make sure your charitable giving reaches those who truly need it: ✨ Signs of a Legitimate Charity: Has a verified local presence Provides detailed information about their mission Can explain exactly how donations are used Offers multiple secure payment options 🚫 Watch Out For: Pressure to donate "right now" Charities with names very similar to well-known organizations Emotional stories without specific details 💝 Pro Tip: Research before you give! Visit charitynavigator.org or give.org to verify legitimate organizations. Remember: True charitable organizations will never rush you or demand specific payment methods. Take your time to verify and give wisely! We love our generous community - let's make sure your kindness reaches those who need it most! 🤍 #GivingSeason #CommunityFirst #CharitableGiving #ChiefFinancial
