The Founders’ Club, with Joanna Lumley as its President, provides an opportunity to play a key part in the creation of the House of Illustration.
This exclusive group of people will be crucial to restoring the building that will become the House of Illustration’s permanent home in Central London.
Membership of the Founders’ Club is for a period of three years and is based on three annual donations to the House of Illustration.
Higher rate taxpayers can increase the value of their donation using Gift Aid, whilst reducting the actual cost of their contribution.
| Year | Year 1 | Year 2 | Year 3 | TOTAL |
| Gift to House of Illustration | £16,700 | £16,700 | £16,700 | £50,100 |
| Gift Aid received by charity | £4,175 | £4,175 | £4,175 | £12,525 |
| House of Illustration receives | £20,875 | £20,875 | £20,875 | £62,625 |
| Higher rate taxpayer reclaims** | £4,175 | £4,175 | £4,175 | £12,525 |
| Cost to donor is | £12,525 | £12,525 | £12,525 | £37,575 |
| **NOTE: Higher rate taxpayers earning more than £150,000 p.a. will be able to reclaim £6,262 from 2010/2011 onwards (£37.50 for every £100 donated), reducing the total cost of the £50,000 donation to just £33,400. | ||||
