Give as you earn
Give As You Earn (GAYE) is a most cost-effective way of supporting the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation.
Under this scheme, you specify a regular donation, which is then deducted from your salary each month before tax. This means that a donation of £10.00 per month would actually cost you just £8.00 at the standard tax rate of 20 per cent. DSWF would still receive £10.00, with the taxman paying the other £2.00.
GAYE is available to everyone who pays UK income tax and is employed by a UK organisation.
