One of the easiest tax effective ways to donate is with a Gift Aid Declaration.

Just print off a form and send it to us with your cheque. At no cost to you, every £1 donation is worth more to Berkshire Community Foundation, which as a registered charity can reclaim the standard rate of tax.

Higher rate tax payers can also reclaim the difference between the lower and higher rate tax on their charitable donations via their tax return.

If you wish to support your local community for a number of years, you can add a Bankers Standing Order, which you can download with the Gift Aid Declaration. For more information please contact us.

To view and print these documents you must have Adobe Reader installed on your PC. If you don't have Adobe Reader installed on your PC, you can download it for free from www.adobe.com

You may also arrange to give through your payroll via your employer.

This can also have tax benefits for the employer if they make a contribution, as well as yourself.
