FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
In recent years, some 44% of our running costs have been covered by patient-related income – private payments from patients who can afford to contribute, as well as from insurance schemes. Additional funding has come from both voluntary donations and partner agencies such as UNRWA and USAID. However, ongoing political instability both in the region and globally is making it more difficult to secure these traditional sources of funding. As a result, our ability to continue delivering expert care to the most vulnerable – refugees, children, the elderly and those living in poverty, relies more than ever on the generosity of our supporters.
Donations can be made in several different ways, including: making a single gift, setting up a regular donation, donating through your charitable Trust or Foundation, via matched giving or even a gift in kind.

Every £1,000 you donate could be worth £1,250 to SJEHG. If you are a UK taxpayer, you might be eligible to increase your donation through the UK government’s Gift Aid scheme. Contact our team to find out more.
If you are a higher rate taxpayer (40% and above) you could be entitled to a tax rebate on your donation worth the difference between the basic and higher rate of tax – find out more at HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). For instance, a donation of £1,000 from a UK taxpayer is worth an additional £250 under the UK government’s Gift Aid scheme. However, as a higher rate taxpayer you are entitled to claim the difference between what we claim at 20% basic rate of tax and your own tax rate. Therefore, on a donation of £1,000 you too could claim £250 from HMRC. Please contact your accountant for more information. SJEHG will use income from Gift Aid on wherever the need is greatest.

They offer long-term security, helping to ensure that vital work can continue, no matter the challenges ahead. For full details on how to leave a gift in your Will. Find out how to get involved.
