What is Gift Aid?
Gift Aid is a government scheme that allows registered charities like Friends of the Earth to claim back the basic tax you’ve already paid on your donations. That means your donations will be increased by 25% at no extra cost to you. Find out which donations are eligible below.
When you tick the box, we can claim back an extra 25 pence on every £1 you’ve donated over the last 4 years and for all your future eligible donations.
What difference can Gift Aid make?
Last year we claimed over £1.1 million in Gift Aid from generous supporters like you, without costing them a penny.
These crucial funds:
- Helped our campaigners pressure the government to build a greener and fairer future.
- Supported our lawyers to take on ground-breaking legal cases to help stop fossil fuel projects from going ahead.
- Mobilised our local action groups to lobby their MPs and influence the shape of what’s to come.
- You can be part of this – tick the box and make your Gift Aid declaration today.
Is my donation eligible?
- Yes, if you’re a UK taxpayer.
Or you pay tax on one or more of the following:
- A personal or occupational pension.
- Bank and building society savings accounts.
- Rental income.
- Overseas and UK investment dividends.
- Stock and shares.
If you pay income tax above the basic rate, you must include all your eligible Gift Aid donations on your self-assessment tax return if you want to receive the additional tax relief due to you. If you donate with a partner or someone else, please sign up to Gift Aid using the details of just one eligible person.
