If you are a UK taxpayer, the value of your donation can increase by nearly a third under the Gift Aid Scheme - at no additional cost to you!
For example, if you give £10 to YMCA Scotland, HM Revenue & Customs will add £2.80, bringing the total donation to £12.80.
In order for us to reclaim the tax you have paid on your donations you must be a UK taxpayer, paying an amount of income tax or capital gains tax for each tax year (6th April one year to 5th April the next) at least equal to the amount YMCA will reclaim on your donations for that tax year. You must also notify YMCA if your address or circumstances change. 
So, if you want your donation to go further, just Gift Aid it and all your donations you've made in the last six years and all future donations will be gift aided until you notify us otherwise please tick the Gift Aid box when making a donation online, or you can download our Gift Aid Form and return it to us at the address shown on the form.
