You can give in many ways. We will recover income
tax from the taxman (if you pay uk tax), and then we will give your
money away to all the good causes you want to support!
The links below give more information about giving
as an individual, a company, or as a group.
There are also links to a number of different
giving methods. If you have any queries...please give me a call
gill@dovetrust.com
For all donations, gift aid is the simplest and
most effective method of tax-efficient giving.
You can make donations to the dove trust at any
time.
Once you have given us a gift aid declaration,
which you can do online, or by post, e-mail or telephone, you can
then make donations to the dove trust whenever you wish
Each donation you make is treated separately under
the gift aid system, and there are no limits to the amount you can
give - no minimum, no maximum.
All you have to be is a UK taxpayer, paying tax
of at least as much as we can reclaim.
We will reclaim the tax on your donations as soon
as possible, and inform you when it is available for distribution.
Your gifts can be anonymous if you wish, and using
the dove trust for your giving is the only way of making your giving
tax-efficient and anonymous.
You can let the recipient know who you are if
you wish - you stay in control of how you give at all times.
You can then split your donation (money or shares)
to give to as many causes as you wish, whenever you want to.
You can make one-off gifts, or regular, with no
administration required for the recipients of your gifts
If you are not a UK taxpayer, you can still give
through the dove trust, and keep your giving administration simple,
but we will not be able to add tax to your account.

We administer the giving for groups who have
come together for a common cause or purpose, such as a short-term
‘mission’ to a third world country, a trip to help street
children, or a working visit to an orphanage – the list is
endless!
Or groups of people may come together to support
a particular person or family long-term, through a serious illness,
or to follow a vision for a special work within a country or ethnic
people-group.
Sometimes a church, or small charity or good
cause finds that they don’t want the hassle of administering
their giving, with form-filling and collecting and handling money,
and they find it so simple to ask us to do all this for them.
We will provide specially designed giving forms,
or envelopes, for your group to give by standing order, cheque,
cash, debit or credit card, on a one-off or regular basis, and we
will send all the gifts, together with the tax refunds we collect
on behalf of the group’s taxpaying supporters, to the purpose
for which you have formed the group.
We will provide sponsorship forms especially
to enable fundraising for events (such as the sponsored run, walk
or toddle!) or one-off trips (such as a team trip to build a community
centre in a shanty town overseas).
We can handle major offerings and collections
at conferences and large events, increasing the income from those
collections by significant amounts!
If you have a project, cause or good work and
you need help with administering your supporters, just give us a
call for a discussion about our services.

If a business is a limited company, it will receive
tax relief on its giving in a different way to individuals, and
the individual gift-aid rules do not apply to corporate giving,
so the dove trust cannot reclaim an extra 28% on giving from companies.
Businesses which are sole traders or partnerships
are able to use the gift-aid rules to enhance their giving, with
the individuals claiming tax relief in their Tax Return personally.
Limited companies, however, are able to treat
their gifts as a business expense, and deduct the payments from
their profits for the year, reducing the Corporation Tax bill payable
on the year’s results!
Companies which wish to give regularly as they
earn profits, or occasionally as and when they can afford to do
so, can therefore make gifts to the dove trust in their financial
year, and make their community involvement (or corporate social
responsibility) well planned and tax-effective.
Companies can also ‘match’ amounts
raised for good causes by their employees, and boost local and national
charities whenever they want, from their subscriber account with
the dove trust.
The administration for the company is minimal,
with only the dove trust (who operate charitygiving.co.uk) to deal
with, and the company will always be able to keep track of its budget
easily, with regular reports.
To set up an account, and start making
payments, please contact us, and we will do the rest!
