Ways To GiveWith so many easy, tax-efficient ways to give, the only difficulty is deciding which ones to choose. That is why I have outlined below some of the ways you can give to persecuted Christians in partnership with Open Doors. ChequesPlease make cheques payable to Open Doors UK and post them to us at: Gift AidIf you are a UK taxpayer, you can make your gifts worth nearly 30% more with Gift Aid – at no extra cost to you. And if you pay higher rate tax, you can include the donations you make on your tax return and further reduce the tax you pay. You can fill in an online Gift Aid Declaration form now, or Download a Gift Aid Declaration form (in PDF format) to print out, fill in and post to us. Regular GivingSupport a Believer is an exciting new way to give monthly to the persecuted church.

Personal Charitable TrustThe ideal way to make a lasting contribution to a causes you care about. The Charity Commission provide model documents to make it easy for you to set up your own charitable trust. Payroll GivingSimple tax-effective giving direct from your pay plus a 10% bonus. If your employer has a payroll giving scheme, you can specify causes you want to support, such as Open Doors. Currently the government is adding an additional 10% to payroll gifts. Opening a Charity AccountYou can open a charity account with an organisation like Stewardship Services or Charities Aid Foundation. You can make tax-effective donations to Open Doors through charity vouchers, cheques or by CharityCard. I would be delighted to provide you with further information or clarification.
