Founder Members Required
By Eileen Waller on the 21st, March 2009Could you help fund British Water Polo?
If we can generate 100 founding members of Friends of Water Polo who are willing to donate £1000 this will give our efforts a great start. This level of donation will entitle the donor to receive:-
1. Official listing as a founding member of Friends of Water Polo
2. Official photographs of both squads
3. A certificate confirming founding member status
4. A ‘Save Water Polo’ polo shirt
5. Invitation to players open day
Naturally, any level of contribution is very welcome either by direct debit mandate or by individual one off donation. Any amount however small will push us towards our target.
Once we have Charitable Status it will be possible to increase the amount donated through Gift Aid. Donations are treated as if the donor has already deducted basic rate tax from them. A Charity can then reclaim this tax to increase the value of a donation. Therefore in approximate terms if we raise £200,000 the tax man will increase that closer to £250,000. We willbe able to claim Gift Aid for donations going back several years, so there is no need to wait until we obtain Charitable Status
