What is Gift Aid?
If you pay UK tax and let us know, the Government will give War Child at least 25% on top of your donation. It won’t cost you a penny.
If you make a personal donation to War Child, you will be asked to declare whether you would like us to claim Gift Aid. This will be either by:
- ticking the Gift Aid box on the donation page online
- by saying ‘yes' to the Gift Aid question whilst donating via the phone
- ticking the Gisft Aid box on sponsorship pages like JustGiving
To say Yes to Gift Aid, you will need to have paid UK tax in the current tax year that’s at least equal to the 25% we will claim. We also need your full name and home address.
Please note, Gift Aid cannot apply to CAF cards (as the tax has already been reclaimed).
