The Benefits of Giving

The Benefits of Giving...

Giving to the BIG Bolton Fund can be tax efficient as we are a project of Bolton CVS (Registered Charity No. 1003123)

Corporate donations

As a business you can claim tax relief on any donation made to The BIG Bolton Fund. More information is available at the HM Revenue & Customs website.

Individual Donations

If you are a UK tax payer you can Gift Aid your donation, meaning that we receive your tax relief for this donation.

Individual donation from standard rate tax payer ............£10.00
Gift Aid claimed by BIG Bolton Fund from HMRC ........... £ 2.80

Total donation to the BIG Bolton Fund .....................£ 12.80

Also if you pay income tax at a higher rate, you can also claim further tax relief through self assessment. For more information on Gift Aid and its benefits, visit the HM Revenue & Customs website.

Your donation will help Bolton forever.

All donations are invested in a fund which allows trustees to spend the income earned on grants. This means the more donations in the fund, the more grants we can give out. This ensures that grants will be provided for local community groups year after year.

Doubling your donation!

Thank you for everyone that donated before 31st March 2011. The BIG Bolton Fund was taking part in the Grassroots Grants Endowment Match Challenge, which meant for every £1 you give we received another £1 from the government.
