Established as the Dave Rayner Fund in 1996, our organisation has evolved into The Rayner Foundation, which was officially recognised as a charity by the HM Government in September 2019.

 

Enhancing Your Contributions with Gift Aid

 

Gift Aid is a significant tax incentive in the UK that encourages individuals to donate to charities through tax-effective giving. Since its introduction in the Finance Act of 1990, Gift Aid has empowered thousands of charities, including ours, to maximise their fundraising potential.

 

How Does Gift Aid Benefit You and The Rayner Foundation?

 

When you donate to The Rayner Foundation and declare that you are a UK taxpayer, we can increase the value of your donation by 25% at no extra cost to you. This increase comes from the government reclaiming the income tax you paid on that donation.

 

Additional Benefits for Higher-Rate Taxpayers

 

You can claim further tax relief if you pay tax at a higher rate. Complete the Gift Aid declaration as usual and then include the amount donated on your self-assessment tax return.

 

Flexible Donation Options

 

Gift Aid can be applied to various donations, whether one-off contributions, recurring direct debits, or funds raised through sponsored events. Specific forms are available for each type of donation to ensure the process is straightforward.
