GIFT AID DONATIONS
Changes in Gift Aid regulations from 6 April 2000 mean that charities now benefit from tax relief on all donations, however large or small. If you sign a Gift Aid Declaration (GAF), JiJ will be able to claim back an extra 28p for every £1 you donate. Donations eligible for tax relief include 'Friends of JiJ' subscriptions and if you have made a donation or subscription since 6 April 2000, please send us the Declaration, as we can backdate claims. The Declaration needs only to be signed once and is effective until you decide to cancel it. JiJ will keep a record of who has signed the GiftAid Declaration, which is presented to the Inland Revenue.

SHOPPING WITH JIJ
MFHusain prints

With contemporary Indian art continuing to attract serious interest from international collectors, we are thrilled that MF Husain, the distinguished Indian filmmaker and artist, has generously donated sets of 3 limited editions of a print run of 200 to be sold in aid of JiJ.

A celebrated international filmmaker, whose first film received a Golden Bear at the 1967 Berlin Film Festival, MH Husain was one of the first modernist painters who made use of Indian motifs from Indian sources such as temple sculpture and Indian miniatures and created a style in painting which was a brilliant synthesis of tradition and modernity.

A multi-faceted artist Husain is recognised not only as a great painter but as an artist who is constantly innovating and experimenting with new ideas and mediums.

All three prints are available unframed.
Sizes: The Golden Fort (88x66cm)
