Regular giving through monthly donations

By choosing to give a regular monthly donation, you will be helping us to plan ahead and make long-term improvements for our members. Having a sustainable income stream will allow us to add value to existing services and identify and respond to opportunities when they arise. By setting up a direct debit you can choose an amount to suit your budget and can cancel the donation at any time if it is no longer suitable.

One off donations

As an alternative to regular giving you can make single donations such as the end of year charitable giving or giving to charity instead of buying Christmas gifts. In doing this you are giving a gift that keeps on giving. The recipient will also experience the joy of charitable giving too!

Payroll Giving

Through the Give As You Earn scheme (GAYE), people are now able to donate to Open Country through the Self Assessment Tax Return. The scheme allows all or part of any rebate which is due to them to be given to Open Country or any other participating charity. Anonymous donations can also be made. For more details, please visit: www.gov.uk/payroll-giving

Gift Aid

If you are a UK tax payer you can gift aid your donation, allowing us to reclaim the basic tax which you have already paid and giving us an extra 25% at no cost to you! This additional income really does make a huge difference to Open Country. This is collected  on any online donations, alternatively you can download a Gift Aid form here.
