Gift
Aid
If
your club is set up as a Community Amateur Sports Club (CASC) Gift Aid can be
claimed on voluntary donations, provided they are freely given, no benefits
arise in consequence of that specific donation (either now or in the future)
or, if provided, they fall within the legislative limits, and a Gift Aid
Declaration is obtained. In circumstances where clubs have reduced
their subscription rate, any amounts freely donated over and above this reduced
amount would also potentially be eligible for Gift Aid. In all cases it must
made clear to the members that the amounts voluntarily given by them are not
subscriptions, carry no subscription rights and will be treated as donations on
which the CASC or charity will claim Gift Aid. FOR MORE INFO CLICK HERE
