Gift Aid

Make your donation worth more

We can claim back the tax you have paid on your donation (25p for every £1 you donate). This additional income really does make a big difference so please don't forget to Gift Aid donations, if you are a UK tax payer.

Higher rate tax payers can make the value of their gifts worth even more by donating the additional relief to us through self assessment.

What we need to claim Gift Aid

• Your full name and home address.

• A donation made from a personal bank or building society account.

We can't claim Gift Aid on donations from company accounts. The donation must be your own money and not the proceeds of a collection.

• For you to be paying income tax or capital gains tax which at least equals the amount Send a Cow will claim in the appropriate tax year (6 April one year to 5 April the next). This is currently 25p for every £1 you give.

• Using the declaration form, we can claim Gift Aid on all your donations in the last 4 years and all future donations.

Once you have become a Gift Aid donor, please let us know if you stop paying tax or if you change your name/address so that we can update our records.
