Tax Efficient Giving Gift Aid is a government scheme whereby charities are able to reclaim basic-rate income tax payable on gifts received. This means Cornerstone receives an extra 25p for every pound you give. To qualify your giving for Gift Aid, simply fill out the following form. If you are not a regular contributor to Cornerstone, please fill out the form anyway, as it applies to any and every gift. This is a very important part of the church’s income and is money that is due to us. If you are a UK tax payer please help by filling in this form and returning it to the church office. Please pray about your giving and about tithing. If you are not yet giving a full tithe (one tenth of your salary) or if you have been giving only a portion of your tithe to Cornerstone, may we urge you to revise your giving and fill in this form. Donor Details: Plan your giving. We should set aside money for God when we receive our income, rather than giving whatever might be left at the end of the month. ___________________________________________ Give regularly. A bank standing order is a most convenient and helpful way to give. It helps you not to miss your giving, and it helps the church to budget. God’s faithfulness to us. A few years ago at a church meeting, one of the Elders said that when God gives us work to do in His service, He ensures that the church will have the necessary funds to do that work. We take that to heart and move forward, trusting in Him—and He has never failed. Thank you for your part in the work of the gospel worldwide.
