donations
Corporate
donations, and gifts in kind, play a key part in our
work for wildlife. Companies also help wildlife when
taking advantage of 'Gift Aid', to offset corporation
tax, normally paid to Inland Revenue. For example
a corporate donation of £7,690, with 'Gift Aid',
is worth £10,000 to The Wildlife Trust and our
work. Please Note: Donations are not subject to VAT,
as we do not promote your name or brand.
Gifts
in kind are invaluable and provide an inexpensive
way for any company to give support. Examples of in-kind
support are the gift of:
|
Office furniture |
|
IT equipment from computer-recycling.co.uk |
|
Personnel secondment |
|
Cars |
|
Health
and safety , First Aid or Management Training |
consultancy

work and our expertise. As well as direct support

Volunteering
benefits staff morale, motivation and commitment.
Employees learn new skills, feel a strong sense of
personal achievement, and develop as team players,
whilst having a direct and positive impact on their
local environment.
Give
As You Earn (GAYE) is an excellent tax-free way of
supporting The Wildlife Trusts. The scheme, which
is easily established, can help improve internal communications,
and generate positive publicity.
cause
related marketing
The
Wildlife Trusts understand and appreciates the benefits
achievable for both wildlife and business. Research
proves the vast majority of consumers are more likely
to buy a product associated with a cause (price and
quality being equal) and to develop a more positive
image of a company.
