Donations & Gift aid
The Scottish Forestry Trust supports research, education and training in forestry throughout Britain and that includes forestry's contribution to landscape, recreation, wildlife, environment, and sustaining rural development.
If you wish to support the work of the Scottish Forestry Trust by making a donation to our work, we would be delighted to hear from you. If you are a UK taxpayer, and wish to donate to the Trust, Gift Aid enables you to boost the value of your donations by 28p for every £1 you give (25p in Gift Aid and a further 3p in Transitional Relief) to your favourite charity. So, for example, if you decide to give £100 to the Scottish Forestry Trust, we will be able to reclaim an extra £28 from HM Revenue & Customs. It might not sound like a lot, but every penny really does count! What is more, if you are a higher rate taxpayer, you are entitled to claim tax relief on your donations, enabling you to reclaim as much as 25p from every £1 donated to charity.
To donate through Gift Aid, all you need to do is complete the declaration form confirming that you are a taxpayer and that you are happy for us to claim tax relief on your donation sending the completed form, along with your donation to:
The Director, The Scottish Forestry Trust; 3rd Floor; 59 George Street, Edinburgh EH2 2JG
Just one declaration can apply to all donations that you have made to us over the past 6 years and to any forthcoming gifts you make, until you notify us otherwise. It is that simple.
