By contributing to the re-greening of degraded landscapes in Africa, you're not only supporting a good cause, but thanks to Justdiggit's foundation status, you can also receive a significant portion of your donation back.
Below, you’ll find the various options for England, Germany, France, Belgium and the United States.
United Kingdom
Tax benefits for individuals
If you, as an individual, wish to donate to Justdiggit, you can create a Charity Account with CAF (Charities Aid Foundation). You can easily do this via this link. Once you have completed the application, it usually takes 3-5 working days for your account to be opened.
Subsequently, when you donate, the receiving organization can claim an additional 25% on every donated pound through the Gift Aid scheme.
Another option is to set up your Charity Account for ‘payroll giving,’ which is part of the Give As You Earn program. In this case, your donation is deducted from your earnings before you pay income tax. This means recipient charities get more, and it costs the donor less.
Conditions:
- The amount of tax you pay needs to be at least equal to the value of Gift Aid the charity or CASC will claim on your donation(s).
- You can’t open an account in any other individual’s name.
- If circumstances change, and you no longer pay enough tax, it’s important to inform all the charities you support. If you don’t inform them, and they continue claiming Gift Aid, you may need to repay any difference to HMRC.
- Donations not eligible for Gift Aid are those made with other people’s money. This includes amounts raised through fundraising (e.g., a bake sale).”
