Tax Effective Giving
Making your donations go further
If you have kindly donated to Children’s Health Foundation Crumlin or Children’s Health Foundation Temple Street, just a moment of your time now to complete a tax form could increase the value of your donation by up to 45%, helping to give more sick children a fighting chance.
Under Revenue’s Charitable Donation Scheme, when someone like you gives us €250 or more in one calendar year (Jan-Dec), that gift is worth at least an additional €112.33 in tax relief that Children’s Health Foundation can claim. But we can’t do anything without your tax form.
What do you need to do?
All you need to do is complete, sign and return a tax form.
To allow Children’s Health Foundation to claim tax relief on your donations, you must also meet certain criteria:
- Donated €250 or more to Children’s Health Foundation Crumlin or Children’s Health Foundation Temple Street in one year (Jan-Dec) in the last four years (2020-2023)
- Have paid tax (PAYE or self-assessed) for the relevant year(s)
- Donated yourself directly, rather than sponsored a friend or taken part in a raffle or collection
Twice a year we mail the tax form to everyone who has donated at least €250 in any one or more of the last four years. Our next mailing will be landing through letterboxes in April 2024, and it will contain:
- the tax form
- guidance on completing the form
- a freepost envelope to return the form to us
If you haven’t previously received a pack in the post, or if you have recently donated and think we may be able to claim the tax relief, please follows these steps:
- Print and complete the form with your PPS number, signature and date.
- Return the form to:
Children’s Health Foundation,
14-18 Drimnagh Road,
Crumlin,
Freepost FDN 7518,
DUBLIN 12,
D12 HX96
Or you can give us a call on 01 709 1700 and we can arrange to post a form to you.
How it helps
The form is valid for 5 years (unless you choose to cancel it), from the year of your first donation of €250 or more.
It does not commit you to making donations during that period, it simply authorises us to claim the tax relief for any years in which your donations total €250 or more. This helps us lower costs, allowing for greater impact in the work we do every day to give every sick child the very best chance.
Whether it helps to fund cutting edge research into childhood illness, new equipment, new and emerging services or vital daily comforts and supports for patients and their families, the time you take today to complete the form will unlock funds that will help to give sick children in Ireland the best possible care and caring in the best possible environment. Thank you.
