“How We Give Is More Important Than What We Give”
“So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.” (2 Corinthians 9:7)
Thank you for your support of Star of David’s Evangelical Ministry. We believe that giving is a personal choice, is a matter of the heart and is pleasing to God. A heart motivated by grace, gives. As givers we determine the measure of our return. We have the authority to determine how much or how little.
(2 Cor. 9:6)
The parable of the talents found in Matthew 25:14-30 teaches that people are accountable and responsible to God for the way they use the resources they are given. They are expected to ‘steward’ or ‘manage’ these for the One who has given them. God wants us to reinvest into His Kingdom the talents and gifts He has given us.
We are confident that as you give, “…. You will be enriched in every way so that you may be generous, and this [generosity, administered] through us is producing thanksgiving to God [from those who benefit]. So two good things will result from this ministry of giving-the needs of the believers in Jerusalem [Greek: God’s holy people] will be met and they will joyfully express their thanks to God.” 2 Corinthians 9:11-12
You can give by Standing Order or BACS (Banks Automated Clearing System) and our bank details are given below. As you give, why not consider increasing the value of what you give, at no extra cost to you, by Gift Aiding it – see below.

What is Gift Aid?
Gift Aid gives you an extra 25p for every £1 you donate. Gift Aid is an income tax relief designed to benefit charities and Community Amateur Sports Clubs (CASC). If you’re a UK taxpayer, Gift Aid increases the value of your charity donations by 25% because the charity can reclaim the basic rate of tax on your gift at no extra cost to you.
How does Gift Aid work?
The process is simple; all you need to do is fill out a Gift Aid Declaration form. This is a statement from you to the charity confirming that you want to donate through Gift Aid and receive tax back on your donation. Charities don’t pay tax on most types of income, which is why the tax paid on financial gifts to charity can be claimed back.
Your donations won’t qualify for Gift Aid if they are more than four times what you’ve paid in tax that tax year. If you stop paying enough tax at any point, you must let the charity you’re donating to know.
Am I eligible for Gift Aid?
For a charity to claim Gift Aid on your donation you must first have paid UK Income or Capital Gains Tax that financial year. The tax you pay must be equivalent to the amount of Gift Aid the charity will reclaim on your donation that tax year, (and will be claimed by other charities and CASCs). VAT and Council Tax do not meet this criteria.
From April 2016, the income tax personal allowance has increased to £11,000 for individuals born after 5 April 1948. If your income is below £11,000, you will no longer be able to claim Gift Aid on eligible donations.
It’s worth noting, you can’t make donations on behalf of someone else or a company.
What if I pay higher rate tax?
If you’re a higher rate taxpayer, you can claim additional tax benefits for the donations you make to charity, which you can keep or pass on to a charitable organisation. Simply indicate how much you’ve donated when completing your tax self-assessment form.
