If you’ve got a moment…

… please take a look at this new campaign to persuade the chancellor George Osborne to drop the “charity tax”.
The cap on income tax reliefs that George Osborne announced in the Budget last week will negatively affect many not for profit organisations.
It will discourage the major donors that give large, one-off donations to many charities. And it’s important to remember that today’s gifts are also tomorrow’s grants. These donors are behind many of the grant-giving trusts and foundations that support frontline organisations.
Many across the sector think it’s especially worrying that the Treasury are now equating giving to charity with avoiding tax.
Find out more about the campaign and the opportunity to send a powerful message to the government:
Give it back, George – drop the charity tax
Thanks,
The Know How Non Profit team
