Become part of the creation of the Dunard Centre by supporting this once-in-a-century mission to bring more music to more people. Your support will help lay the foundations for a new era of performance, creativity and collaboration in the heart of Edinburgh.

How you can support the Dunard Centre

IMPACT Scotland is a registered charity, accepting grants, gifts in cash or shares and legacies. Tax-effective gifts may be made to IMPACT Scotland, and donors may themselves benefit from the tax advantages of charitable giving. Below, you can find more information about the various ways in which you can support the project.

Every donation, whether large or small, is instrumental in bringing the Dunard Centre to life. Individual cash donations are very welcome, and your support will go directly to the creation of this significant new venue.

Consider making your gift go even further by adding Gift Aid to your donation, or by pledging now and donating in instalments.

Donor Advised Funds (DAFs) are a flexible and tax-efficient way to support the Dunard Centre. As a donor advisor, you can recommend a grant to us, as a charity registered with the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator and HM Revenue and Customs, from your DAF at any time.

Our charity registration details are: 

Name International Music and Performing Arts Charitable Trust Scotland
Charity number SC04690
Address 35 St Andrew Square, Edinburgh EH2 2AD

Share giving can be amongst the most tax-effective means of support, especially if the shares have appreciated greatly in value in your ownership. Giving shares means you get Income Tax relief on the value of the shares as well as exemption from Capital Gains Tax on disposal. We can advise on the process and would be very pleased to receive financial support in this way.

IMPACT Scotland has been determined by NGOsource to be equivalent to a US public charity or government instrumentality.

Additionally, we have partnered with Chapel & York US Foundation to accept donations. This partnership allows us to save on the costs required to operate our own dedicated entity while still providing you the opportunity to support the Dunard Centre with tax-effective donations. For more information on how to donate through Chapel & York US Foundation, please visit their website.

 

Leaving a legacy will ensure the Dunard Centre continues to thrive, generating a wealth of opportunities for people from all walks of life to discover the pleasures and benefits music can bring; joy that crosses communities and generations.



If you leave a gift to a charity such as IMPACT Scotland in your Will, its value will be deducted from your estate (your money, possessions and property) before Inheritance Tax is worked out. If your estate is liable to Inheritance Tax, you could reduce the amount due by choosing to give money to charity. You can choose to leave a specific gift of any size, or you can leave the residue or a fraction of your estate once family and friends have been looked after.



We recommend discussing your legacy plans with your family and contacting a qualified solicitor before making changes to your will. If you would like to arrange a confidential, informal conversation about making a gift in your will, please contact Director of Development, Jenny McNeely on 0131 370 1351 or jenny.mcneely@impactscotland.org.uk

Our Legacy Information Pack may be useful to help you collect your thoughts and as a document you can take with you to a meeting with a professional will-maker.
