View Collection Keep Donation Receipts When you donate to a charity, the charity must provide you with an official receipt that includes the charity’s registration number, the donation amount, and the date. These receipts are essential for claiming your tax credit. Claiming Timeframe You can claim the donation credit for donations made in the last four years, so it’s important to keep all receipts for at least four years. Donations Tax Credit Form To claim the tax credit, individuals need to fill out the IR526 form (Donations Tax Credit form), which is submitted to Inland Revenue (IRD). This can be done either as part of your annual tax return or via a separate claim. Maximum Claim You can claim donations of up to one-third of your annual income. If you donate more than this, the excess can be carried forward to future years.

Elizabeth's Story The sudden death of my husband, Allan, in a car accident, catapulted me into a world raising three young sons alone whilst dealing with a grief that brought me to my knees. I found there was nowhere to share and express my grief. Because of this, I always had a dream of providing a safe environment for those going through the traumatic journey of grief. I got involved with a charity called ‘Women and Grief Home Care’. Nine years later, I needed to change direction. My friend Judith and I decided it was time to bring some joy into grief. She asked me what I missed most (not including my husband) when going through my journey of grief. I missed ‘feeling fab’ as I have always loved having makeup, hair and manicures done. After one night of brainstorming, we wrote a proposal to take to the Grief Centre in Birkenhead and Feeling Fab was created in 2014. This could not have happened without the support and heartfelt love of my volunteers who I call ‘angels’. Our angels have dedicated their time, support and a listening ear for the people who attend. Without the hundreds of ‘angels’ over the years, Feeling Fab would not be where it is today. I am so blessed and honoured to walk alongside our ‘angels’, they are part of the Feeling Fab family, past and present. I would like to say that my life is great now. My boys are married to wonderful ladies. I am ‘Nanny’ to six grandies from my boys and eight step-grandies through Lionel. I have been blessed having such a wonderful man - Lionel - who has been there for me and my boys through the worst time of our lives. He has been our rock. Keep reaching for your dreams - I did - with the help of my boys, Lionel, my family and friends. We all deserve to ‘feel fab’, especially when going through grief, loss and difficult times.
