GIFT AID

“A reading man and woman is a ready man and woman, but a writing man and woman is exact- Marcus Garvey”

Translation: This is a reminder that we should conduct business in a straight forward manner.
It also means that you should deliver what you promise and not waste time talking about it.

GIFT AID



Gift Aid is a government scheme that allows charities to reclaim the tax that you have already paid on your donations through UK income tax or capital gains tax. All individual donations are eligible for the scheme – including regular gifts such as Standing Orders and Direct Debits. We can claim Gift Aid on donations made in the last four years and on future donations once we receive your declaration.

CAN YOU CLAIM AID ON DONATIONS?



All individual donations are eligible for Gift Aid. Donations and collections from a group (e.g. Office, department, local church or choir) must be individually placed in envelopes or a collection form listing each member, their addresses and full post code with the statement that we: Ananse Arts,

71-75 Shelton Street Covent Garden London WC2H 9JQ

Can claim Gift Aid against their donation.

CAN YOU CLAIM GIFT AID ON SPONSORSHIP/DONATIONS I'M PAYING IN ON BEHALD OF OTHERS?



Yes, we can claim Gift Aid on these donations! You will need to have the details of the individuals and their permission to Gift Aid. If you have taken part in a sponsored event for Ananse Arts, please send us your sponsorship form to: Ananse Arts. When paying in donations on behalf of others, you just need to let us know their full name, home address (including postcode) and the amount each individual gave.
