Gift Aid: Frequently asked questions

Find out what the Gift Aid scheme is, how you register, and how you cancel your declaration.

What is Gift Aid and how can I Register?

Gift Aid makes your donation go further. Under this UK government scheme, WWF can claim back tax on every donation – even a one-off gift – made by a taxpaying supporter. The money that we claim back from HMRC as part of the Gift Aid scheme will be treated as unrestricted funds and used to support our general work, even if your original donation was made towards a specific project.

You can find out more information about Gift Aid and how you can register here. Alternatively, you can telephone the Supporter Care Team on 0800 035 5929 (8am to 10pm, 7 days a week) quoting your supporter reference number or full postal address.

I need to cancel my Gift Aid Declaration as I am no longer a UK taxpayer. How do I do this?

You can cancel your Gift Aid declaration at any time by calling Supporter Care on 0800 035 5929 (8am to 10pm, 7 days a week)or send us an e-mail using our web form, making sure to select the Gift Aid query option. All we need is the date that you ceased paying Income Tax.
