Gift Aid Scheme for charities

Gift Aid is a scheme to encourage individuals and businesses to donate more money to charity.

Under the scheme, UK charities can claim back the basic rate tax already paid on gifts of money received from individuals who pay or have paid UK tax. So every £ you give is worth £1.28 to your chosen charity. Imagine what a difference that could make. The Gift Aid scheme allows UK companies to make gifts of money to charity before any tax is deducted. Jo's Trust Gift Aid form.  Further information about Gift Aid.

See our list of fundraisers raising money through Just Giving.
