What is Gift Aid and how does it work

When you donate to CBM UK, you help transform the lives of people with disabilities living in the world’s poorest communities. But did you know your donation could go even further?

By simply ticking a box, you can increase the value of your gift by 25% – without spending another penny.

This is possible through Gift Aid – a government scheme that allows charities like CBM UK to reclaim the basic rate of tax on your donation. That means for every Ā£1 you give, we can claim an extra 25p from HMRC. So a Ā£20 gift becomes Ā£25. A Ā£40 gift becomes Ā£50. And all at no cost to you.

Why Gift Aid is important for charities like CBM UK

Gift Aid raises thousands of pounds each year for CBM UK. That’s money that goes directly to where it’s needed most – helping restore sight, prevent blindness, and ensure no one is left behind because of disability. Every extra pound helps us to transform lives and build a more inclusive world for everyone, everywhere.

How to add Gift Aid to your donation

If you’re a UK taxpayer, you can say ā€œyesā€ to Gift Aid when you make your donation online, by phone or post. Once you’ve given us permission, we can claim Gift Aid on your donations past, present and future.

Are you eligible for Gift Aid

You qualify for Gift Aid if you:

    • Are a UK taxpayer

    • Pay at least as much Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax as the amount we’ll reclaim on your donations in the tax year

If you’re unsure, just get in touch. We’re happy to help.

Already donated? You can still add Gift Aid

If you’ve given to CBM UK in the past four years and didn’t tick the Gift Aid box, it’s not too late! Just fill in our quick Gift Aid declaration form and we’ll take care of the rest. Call our Supporter Care Team today to request a Gift Aid declaration form.

Every gift counts. Every pound helps.

Adding Gift Aid is a small step, but it has a huge impact. Please say yes to Gift Aid and help us transform even more lives.
