UK taxpayers can donate here through our official partner and registered trust GiveDirectly UK (GDUK). The donation is processed through Charities Aid Foundation (CAF). Our charity number is 1167938.
GDUK reclaims Gift Aid, which boosts donations by 25p for each £1 donated. Higher and additional rate taxpayers can also reclaim additional tax relief via their Self Assessment returns.
If you’d like to make a major gift or have any questions about giving from the UK, please email us at info@givedirectly.org.
A few things to keep in mind:
- Personal Accounts Only: CAF can only accept donations made from personal bank accounts. Contributions from organizational or company cards are not allowed.
- Donation Designations: Donations to GDUK (minus transaction fees) are granted to GiveDirectly to support cash transfer programs in Africa. Allocation of funds is determined by GDUK’s Board of Trustees and cannot be directed to specific programs by donors.
- Update Donations: To update your recurring donation to GDUK, please submit this form. CAF does not allow donors to make changes directly, so our team will process the update on your behalf.
