If your clients ask for advice on charitable giving, the Foundation has the expertise to help advise on local charitable causes in Somerset. We work with you to achieve a tailored approach.

There are various ways in which Donors can support their favourite charities and reach a wider range of smaller organisations through a single channel. For example, a client may wish to support a specific home for elderly people but also use our local knowledge to reach a wider range of other organisations helping older people remain independent in their home.

As a registered charity, donations to the Foundation can be gift-aided adding 28% to the value of the donation. Higher-rate taxpayers can also claim back 23% of their donation in their tax returns.

Capital gifts (shares, land, property) may also offer significant tax benefits to donors, enabling them to offset up to 40% of the value of the gift against their income tax bill, while possibly avoiding Capital Gains Tax on the asset as well.
