FISCAL AND OTHER BENEFITS OF BEING INVOLVED
We believe that our plans will only take root and succeed by a collaborative effort involving local supporters, businesses and landowners working together with Stow CLT and the local authorities.
There are many different ways in which people can become involved, including:
-
Considering the donation or economic sale of land and/ or premises to Stow CLT to be used to provide truly affordable housing
-
The making of key gifts or donations to Stow CLT to enable us to expand our work
-
To consider creating TAF housing opportunities with existing care homes or other businesses in the area
-
Legacies in favour of Stow CLT, bequeathing either assets or land
-
Pro bono services, including design, legal, accounting, building and fit-out work
In return for such involvement, there are a whole range of benefits, including:
-
Donors will be making a real and acknowledged contribution to our local society
-
Tax and Gift Aid benefits will be available for charitable contributions
-
Sellers of land may achieve a planning uplift to its value, while still selling it to Stow CLT at an affordable price
-
Provision of accommodation for essential key workers will, in the case of co-operative partnering projects, achieve a greater degree of efficiency and sustainability of staffing through loyalty and continuity
-
Naming rights will be available for significant donations or contributions
-
If funds are raised by Stow CLT through a Community Share Issue, this would provide the opportunity for an investment return.
