Are donations eligible for Gift Aid?
We are in the process of setting this up with HMRC.
What is Gift Aid?
Gift Aid is a scheme available to charities. It means they can claim extra money from HMRC. A charity can claim Gift Aid when you make a monetary donation from your own funds and have paid UK Income and / or Capital Gains Tax during that tax year. The charity can claim an extra 25p for every £1 you donate. That means Gift Aid can increase the value of your donations by 25%. Learn More
