What is Gift Aid?
Gift Aid is a tax relief for charities in the UK to increase donations, at no extra cost to the donor. When a charity receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, the organisation is entitled to claim an extra 25% paid on that donation. For example, a £20 donation processed with Gift Aid becomes a £25 donation. Donate here and give your donation a boost with Gift Aid.

Who can gift aid
+For charities to claim Gift Aid on a donation, the donor must have paid UK income tax or capital gains tax for that tax year, at least equal to the tax that the organisation will reclaim on the individual’s donations.
For example, if you are donating £100, we could claim £25 in Gift Aid so you must have paid at least £25 in tax.
Even if the donor is not currently employed they are eligible to make Gift Aid payments so long as, at some point in the tax year in which they make the donation, they pay enough tax on any of the following:
- Personal or occupational pension
- Stocks or shares
- Bank or building society savings accounts
- Rental income
- Overseas or UK investment dividends
Do tax brackets matter?
+Higher rate tax payers are entitled to claim the difference between the top rate of tax they pay, and the basic rate on the total value of the donation. Individuals can claim the additional tax relief through their self assessment tax return or by asking HMRC to amend their tax code.
Example for higher rate tax payer:
You donate £100 to charity – they claim Gift Aid to make your donation £125. You pay 40% tax so you can personally claim back £25.00 (£125 x 20%).
