Fund Raising and Donations
Can you help the MEAL APPEAL?
You can support the MEAL APPEAL through various schemes designed to fit your specific needs and to record your own special relationship with the Museum. Whichever type of donation you make, gift aid can increase the value of your gift at no extra cost to you.
Individual Giving and Gift Aid benefits
Gifts from individuals are essential to many aspects of the Museum’s work, and our Heritage Lottery Appeal is no exception. MEAL can reclaim the tax on every donation or gift for standard rate taxpayers. Higher rate tax payers can reclaim the additional 20% on their personal annual tax return. For example, if an individual donates £1000 then MEAL can reclaim another £200. If the donor is a higher rate tax payer they can reclaim another £200 from HMRC. The net cost to the individual is £800 and the Museum receives £1200. (Download our Gift Aid Declaration form to support your donation)
Corporate Sponsorship and Gift Aid benefits
We offer attractive benefits to organisations looking to form partnerships; for example, benefits can include special events for staff families, as well as credit in publications. Companies can support the general work of the museum or a particular aspect.
