Make a regular donation to EcoHOLMEs

Donations

As an organisation serving our local community, we don’t want cost to be a barrier to anyone who wants to join EcoHolmes as a member. Members make a single £1.00 payment to join and there are no on-going membership or subscription fees. This keeps membership open, but it means EcoHolmes has no regular income from membership subscriptions and so to keep going, we rely entirely on applying for grants and receiving donations.

Many members make a single donation at the time of joining, but we’ve now made it possible for you to make a regular donation. This will help support our running costs and our work to find suitable buildings and sites to provide low energy, affordable homes for local people.

Why should I make a regular donation?

EcoHolmes is run by volunteers who live in the Holme Valley and who give their time and expertise for free, but we need income to cover our running costs. We will continue to apply for grants to help us continue our work. To date we have raised over £100,000 of grant money for the Chippings project and the Holme Valley Council Offices feasibility study. However, it is increasingly difficult to secure grant funding for our running costs and so we are looking to members to help cover these costs by making regular donations. Donations of any size and regularity will be welcomed.

Gift Aid

If you make a donation to the CLT and you pay UK income tax, EcoHolmes will be able to claim back the income tax you have paid on this amount. This means we can reclaim 25p of tax for every £1 that you donate at no cost to yourself.

Reclaim Gift Aid

Add 25% more to your donation at no cost to you. A Gift Aid declaration allows EcoHolmes to claim tax back on eligible donations. It means that for every £1 you donate to EcoHolmes we can claim back 25p, at no extra cost to you.

Yes, please claim Gift Aid on my behalf

By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like EcoHolmes to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that EcoHolmes will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When EcoHolmes receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.
