Increase your donation value just by ticking a box or filling in form

ALL donations to our Communities in Need appeal can be increased by a quarter through Gift Aid – without costing the donor an extra penny.

Yorkshire Community Foundations can claim back an extra 25p from the Government for every 1 contributed. The scheme is open to any registered UK taxpayer.

If donating online at www.justgiving.com/communitiesinneed, click on the 'I am a UK taxpayer' button near the top of the screen so your donation can benefit from Gift Aid.

If sending a cheque, download a Gift Aid form from www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/christmasappeal. Print out and complete the form, and send it along with your donation.

Alternatively, enclose your name, address and contact details with your cheque, and specify that you would like your donation to benefit from Gift Aid. If donating in person at a branch of Yorkshire Bank you also need to download the Gift Aid form and return it to the Leeds Community Foundation.

Thanks to the government-funded Grassroots Grants programme, the value of your gift can be doubled. If you donate 100 for example, the Community Foundations can claim back 25 and can match everything – resulting in a 250 donation.
