Other ways to donate

Via PayPal.com

By Cheque

Payable to: 'Ulster Historical Foundation' and posted to the address below.

Through the Irish American Partnership

Support the Foundation with a tax-deductible contribution through the Irish American Partnership here: www.irishap.org/ulster-historical-foundation. You can also donate by phone at (+1) 617-723-2707

Note: For US citizens contributions can be made via the Irish American Partnership. The Irish American Partnership is a US 501(c)(3) Non-profit Organisation (Tax ID # 22-2801642) which allows a US donor to take a tax deduction for the gift. The donor can designate UHF as the recipient of 100% of the gift to IAP.

An individual can also donate appreciated stock to UHF. For example, if an individual owns 1,000 shares with a value of $25 per Share which cost them $5 per Share, the individual can gift the stock to IAP with UHF designated as the recipient of the gift. In this case, the person would get a $25,000 tax deduction on their US Federal tax return and in a 25% US tax bracket save $6,250 of taxes.

Gift Aid (for UK taxpayers) and Tax efficient giving

Gift Aid is a simple, yet very effective way of giving to charity. For every pound you are able to give the Foundation, HM Revenue and Customs will add an extra and substantial 25 pence. This is at absolutely no cost to you.

Moreover, individuals who pay tax at the higher rate in the UK may actually reduce your tax liability by Gift Aiding to charity.

For example, if an individual in the 24% UK tax bracket makes a £1,000 GBP contribution, the individual would save £200 in tax while UHF would receive £1,250 GBP. Similarly, a donation to a charitable cause may help reduce an inheritance tax liability.
