Tax-effective giving

If you are a UK tax payer…. The Giraffe Project is registered to receive GIFT AID. We can claim back the tax you paid, at the basic rate, on your donations. If you make donation(s) into the UK account, at the appropriate time we will send you a GIFT AID FORM. Alternatively you can download the form here. This will turn every £100 donation into £128.

If you pay your taxes in Belgium or the Netherlands…. Donors in Belgium can get tax relief by making their donation through the Fondation Roi Baudouin/ Koning Boudewijnstichting /KBF. Donors in the Netherlands pay to Oranje Fonds.

Both these organisations have a bilateral agreement with CAF (the Charities Aid Foundation) in the UK through a system called Transnational Giving Europe (TGE). It works like this:

1. Make your donation... in Belgium to KBF account number 000-000000-4-04, communication: TGE: Giraffe Project".

....In the Netherlands to ING 66 71 64 200 or Postbank 6550; Oranje Fonds, Utrecht, communication"TGE: Giraffe Project".

2. KBF/Oranje Fonds deducts 5% commission and bank charges and sends the rest to CAF who puts it in our UK account.
3. Once a year KBF/Oranje Fonds will send you a tax receipt for submission with your annual tax form.

Please note that in the Netherlands you only get a tax receipt for donations over €250

If you are a US tax payer: Once a year you will receive an official letter from our Treasurer with a summary of donations made in the previous calendar year. This can be included with your US tax form.

MATCHING DONATION SCHEMES

Some companies offer a scheme whereby they will match your donation, thus making your gift worth double!! Check with your personel department to see if your company offers such a scheme, and if they don't, why not ask them to start one?
