How can I claim Gift Aid?

downloaddan

Hi Im going to work with a Charity They are an American Non Prophet Organisation.

I need to Raise the Money to go on this trip it will cost me £1100 the money that I have raised and I will pay the money to the charity.
So my question is this Would I be able to Claim any money on Gift Aid for this Amount of money?? Or Would the charity be able to claim any "Gift Aid" on the £1100 that I have raised??? I am a UK Tax Payer as well.

So what would the situation on this be ?? and if I could claim how do I go about claiming the money for Gift Aid?

It is the charity that claims the gift aid - they will need a declaration from you to say you are a UK taxpayer, or if you have raised money from a number of people then declarations from all of them (eg like you see on a sponsor form) as charities cannot use your declaration for monies given by other people. Contact the charity or look at their website for advice. Good luck!

But as they are an American charity, they won't be able to claim Gft Aid as this applies to UK charities only.

Not a religious organisation then?

unless they have a registered associated charity here. if this is the case, they should let you know...
