How you can support The Craven Trust
Friends Scheme
A Friend of The Craven Trust shares the Trust’s objectives of supporting voluntary groups to improve the quality of life of the people of Craven. You may become a Yearly Friend (£50) or a Life Friend (£300). Please ask for a leaflet.
Donations/Gift Aid
We welcome donations, large or small. Donations can range from an anonymous £5 to an annual gift – it all makes a difference. Gift-aided donations are enhanced by basic rate tax and will add 25p in each £1.
Legacies
A legacy to The Craven Trust will provide lasting benefit to the Craven community. You can, if you wish, specify what type of group or part of the area you would like to benefit from your legacy. No inheritance tax is payable upon gifts to charities.
Named Funds
A Named Fund within The Craven Trust is the alternative to establishing one’s own charitable trust. This could be on behalf of an individual or a company. It has all the advantages without the administrative burden of running your own charity. The Craven Trust is known throughout the area and receives a wide variety of applications from groups of whom you may not be aware but would wish to support. Donors decide on their priorities for funding. Your fund may bear your own name and is invested by The Craven Trust to provide an annual income to award in grants.
Give as You Earn
This is the most tax-effective way for individuals to give directly from their salary to charity.
Corporate Sponsorship
The Craven Trust runs fund-raising events which require sponsors. Alternatively it is possible to sponsor certain identifiable costs, eg the production of the annual review, leaflets, etc.
