Want to support a fantastic cause and make the best use of your money before year end?
You can do both with The For Baby’s Sake Trust.
If you want to act before 5 April, 2024, then here are four ways to donate to The For Baby’s Sake Trust:
Make an online donation and combine with Gift Aid
Donate online: Every penny helps us provide therapeutic, trauma-informed support to babies and families facing domestic abuse.
Boost your donation with Gift Aid: The government adds extra cash on top of your donation.
Here’s how it works:
- Visit The For Baby’s Sake Trust website
- Click “Support Us”
- Choose your donation amount (every penny counts!).
- Tick the “Gift Aid” box (the government tops up your donation).
Bonus tip: You can make a one-off donation or become a super-donor with regular monthly gifts.
Make a gift through Payroll Giving
If your employer offers the scheme, you don’t pay any income tax on gifts to The For Baby’s Sake Trust, as the gift is made before that tax is deducted from your pay.
Donate property or shares
- Save on Inheritance Tax: Gifting property or shares to the Trust means that you qualify for full charitable exemption for the full value of the gift, either at the time of the gift or on your death.
- Save on Income Tax: Deduct the value of your gift from your taxable income.
- Save on Capital Gains Tax: No need to worry about this tax if the value of your gift has increased since you acquired it.
Leave a gift in your will
Like gifts made in the form of property or shares, gifts made to The For Baby’s Sake Trust in your will are free of inheritance tax. And, if you gift 10% or more of your net estate to The For Baby’s Sake Trust, the inheritance tax paid on the remainder of the estate is reduced by 4%, from 40% to 36% – this can be a substantial saving.
You can find some guidance on how to leave a gift to The For Baby’s Sake Trust at Remember A Charity or by working with your solicitor.
Donate today and make a real difference to young lives.
Remember: If you have any questions, consult a professional advisor. They can help you navigate the details.
