Online fundraising consultant Howard Lake, publisher of UK Fundraising ([www.fundraising.co.uk](https://www.fundraising.co.uk)),
and Barry Gower, MD of Gift Aid consultancy **_GAIN_**, are once again offering 
their one-day training course for charities on how to make the most of Gift Aid 
both offline and online.

 

The first outing of the course in May proved so successful that the consultants 
are repeating it on Friday 21 July 2006 in London at the Friends Meeting House in
Euston, London.

In the morning Barry Gower will present an introduction to Gift Aid for individual
donors. He will cover issues such as:

 

* Introduction and Brief overview of Tax Efficient Giving

 

* Review of different types of Tax Efficient Giving

 

* What is Gift Aid?

 

* Why is there Gift Aid?

 

* The Gift Aid declaration

 

* Gift Aid processing

 

* the benefit rules – what can and can’t be Gift Aided.

 

In the afternoon, Howard Lake will look at how the Web and email can be used to 
boost income from Gift Aid. He will cover:

 

* Online donations and who can help you handle them

 

* Event sponsorship

 

* Other fundraising activities e.g. eBay

 

* Using email to promote Gift Aid

 

Delegates will take away with them **_GAIN_**‘s “Gift Aid Recovery Rate Calculator”.
By filling this in and returning it to **_GAIN_** they will receive a summary evaluation
which will indicate how effectively their Gift Aid processes and record-keeping 
are working. **_GAIN_** will also provide feedback on how they are performing relative
to the rest of the group, the sector they operate in and the market as a whole.

 

The one-day course costs just £199 + VAT, and that includes refreshments and a buffet
lunch.
