Gift Aid: Your donation could be worth more!

Gift Aid allows Save the Children to claim tax back from HMRC on all your donations. This means a donation of £10 could be worth an extra £2.50 to us, and it doesn't cost you a penny!

YES, I am a UK taxpayer and would like Save the Children to treat all donations I have made over the past six years and all donations I make in the future (unless I notify you otherwise) as Gift Aid donations.

Your donations are eligible for the scheme if you pay an amount of income tax and/or capital gains tax at least equal to the tax the charity reclaims on your donations.

What is Gift Aid?

Charities take your donation (which is money you’ve already paid tax on), and then reclaim tax on its ‘gross’ equivalent.

In practice, this means that if you give £10 to charity using Gift Aid, that gift is worth £12.50.

Save the Children will treat all donations that you have made for the past six years and all donations you make in the future as Gift Aid donations, until you tell Save the Children otherwise.

Who can use Gift Aid?

UK Taxpayers can tick the box, as long as they pay an amount of Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax for each tax year (6 April one year to 5 April the next) that is at least equal to the amount of tax that we will reclaim on your gifts for that tax year.

Benefits to higher-rate taxpayers

If you pay tax at the higher rate, you can reclaim tax relief on your gross donation at 20% (i.e. the difference between the higher rate of tax at 40% and the basic rate at 20%).

Non taxpayers

If you do not pay tax, you should not use Gift Aid.
