Gifts from UK taxpayers qualify for Gift Aid. This means that for every £1 you give to Heartbeat Africa, we can claim an extra 25p. For example, a gift of £20.00 means we can reclaim £5.00 making your gift worth £25.00.
It won't cost you a single penny more, but it will help us to have an even greater impact in transforming many lives!

✨ Help your donation go 25% further with Gift Aid
I want to Gift Aid any donations that I make in the future or have made in the last four years, to Farm Africa. I am a UK tax payer and understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year it is my responsibility to pay any difference.Frequently asked questions about Gift Aid
To qualify, you must be a UK taxpayer who has paid income or capital gains tax at least equal to the tax that will be claimed on your donation. For example, if you donate £100 in the current tax year, you need to have paid at least £25 in tax to match the amount that Heartbeat Africa will claim in Gift Aid.
It's very easy – all you have to do is make a Gift Aid declaration. A Gift Aid declaration is a statement by an individual taxpayer that they want a charity to receive the tax paid on their donation back from the government. If you are donating online, just tick the Gift Aid box on the donation form. Or complete the form above.
Nothing – it just ensures that if you choose to donate to Heartbeat Africa, we can claim an extra 25% back from HM Revenue & Customs. There's no obligation to donate regularly or any minimum amount.
If you are taxed at the higher rate of 40%, Heartbeat Africa can still only reclaim tax at the basic rate of 20%. However, higher rate taxpayers can also claim the difference between the higher tax rate (40%) and the basic rate (20%) on the total (gross) value of a donation made through their Self-Assessment tax return.
As long as the total amount of tax you pay each year is more than or equal to the tax that Heartbeat Africa and other charities reclaim, your gift will still qualify for Gift Aid. Please advise us as soon as possible if your circumstances change, you stop paying tax or you wish to cancel your declaration.
We can claim Gift Aid on donations made up to four years ago, so long as you have paid enough tax to cover the amount we are reclaiming and you were a UK taxpayer at the time of the donation.
Yes, if you raise funds for Heartbeat Africa, you can claim Gift Aid on your personal donations. However, funds raised from others through events or sponsorships may have different rules. Please contact us for specific guidance.!
