CAF American Donor Fund
Claim eligible tax deductions in the U.S. and the U.K.
Are you paying tax in both the U.S. and U.K.? The CAF American Donor Fund can help you make the most of any charitable giving. It also makes sure you can take advantage of tax breaks you’re eligible for – on both sides of the Atlantic.
Established 25 years ago, the CAF American Donor Fund maximizes the value of transatlantic giving by enabling dual U.S. and U.K. taxpayers to increase their U.S. tax deduction and boost their U.K. giving through Gift Aid.
We can also assist you in making your giving as strategic and impactful as possible, and help you take advantage of an array of fee-based advisory services, including grantmaking advice, research, and more.
Who can use the Fund?
The Fund was designed for individuals that pay taxes in the U.S. and the U.K.
You may be a U.S. taxpayer who has been relocated to the U.K. and who wants to support charities back in the U.S. (and vice versa).
Or you may be an individual with tax obligations in both the U.S. and U.K. and an interest in supporting charitable causes around the world.
In each of the cases, the CAF American Donor Fund offers the perfect giving solution.
