Giving overseas
We
have the expertise and experience to help you give to overseas
causes tax effectively.
With associate offices in eight countries, we're uniquely
equipped to help, and our giving solutions can maximise your
support for the causes that matter to you.
Last year we helped individuals and companies give £360m to over
30,000 charities around the world.
Your international giving options
CAF Account
You can make donations to charitable organisations overseas if
you have a CAF
Charity Account or CAF
Trust, providing we can validate the organisation under UK
law.
To cover the costs involved in this process - both for CAF
and your nominated organisation - the minimum donation to an
overseas organisation is £250.
You can download the form to nominate an overseas cause for your
gift here. Simply complete and return to the address at the bottom
of the form.

We've made donations to hundreds of organisations outside the UK
on behalf of our account holders in the past. Please be aware that
this is not an indication of current validation status.

With a CAF
Company Account we can make your international giving much
easier and tax effective. We do this by enabling you to make use of
the same tax benefits when giving internationally as you would in
the UK. We also validate overseas projects on your behalf.
