Tax-efficient giving
Great news! You can help Sightsavers to fund even more miracle life-changing operations with just one signature. It couldn’t be simpler.
Here’s how it works
By completing a tax-efficient giving form, you can make your gifts go further towards protecting sight and changing lives. Just a moment of your time can really make a lifetime of a difference.
If you’re a taxpayer, either via PAYE or self-employed, and gave €250 or more to Sightsavers during a calendar year, we can claim back the tax you have already paid on your donations from Revenue. This means a donation of €250 could be worth €362.32 – that’s an additional €112.32!
This extra amount alone could pay for a child cataract operation, two sight-saving trachoma operations, or medication to protect six communities from river blindness for a year.
All of these treatments will have a profound effect on the people who receive them. As well as saving their sight, you’ll be giving people back their independence, boosting their chances of an education and protecting their livelihoods. You really could make a life-changing difference to hundreds of people by completing a tax-efficient giving form.
