Gift Aid

If you use Gift Aid when you donate, for every £1 you give, we claim another 25p from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).

The best thing about Gift Aid? It doesn't cost you anything, and it doesn't affect your donation or your taxes. You just have to be a UK tax payer.

Alternatively, download a PDF declaration form and return by post or email.

Gift Aid applies to regular and/or one-off donations. It also applies if you've donated from a joint bank account, as long as the donation comes from a person who pays tax.

You can Gift Aid your donations to as many charities as you like, as long as your total tax paid covers the total Gift Aid amount (that's not the total donation, just the amount to be claimed by charities as Gift Aid).

The tax you've paid can come from:

• Income tax.
• Any property or savings taxes you pay (not including ISAs).
• Any tax you pay on company shares or dividends, or on your pension.

VAT and Council Tax don't apply.

Please note we are not able to claim gift aid on the Nature Rangers subscription box. However, if you eligible for Gift Aid we would encourage you to check the declaration box when you sign up as we may be able to claim gift aid on any future donations you make.

We can only claim at the basic rate – but if you’re a higher rate taxpayer, you can reclaim the additional tax on your donations yourself. Just include your charitable gifts on your tax self-assessment form to claim back 20%.

If you would like to make a Gift Aid declaration, or you have already made a donation and want to add Gift Aid, please fill out our quick online form. Alternatively, download a PDF declaration form and return by post or email.
