Find out more about CAFA single account to manage all your company’s giving
Our Company Account lets you manage your corporate giving in one place. Your business contributes funds into the account, and we hold them for you until you are ready to use them for charitable purposes.
As we’re a charity,
your contributions into the account are considered a charitable donation. This means you only need to record one donation to claim tax relief on all your giving.
For programmes of significant size and scale, we can provide a dedicated account
manager who can help with your giving, share insights, and advise on maximising the impact of your giving.
Our unique ‘Partnership’ feature allows us to receive funds from partners and make the relevant Gift Aid claim, enabling tax-efficient giving for LLP entities.
Use the funds in your account to support any cause considered charitable, from local sports clubs to large overseas NGOs and everything in between.
Contributions are considered charitable donations. So you can reduce your corporation tax.
Wherever they’re based, your charity partners are checked and verified as legitimate before funds are sent.
Holding your charitable budget separately from other company funds means complete transparency for tax purposes and audits.
Use funds in your account to match your employees’ fundraising or volunteering efforts – encouraging them to do more.
You can make giving requests at any time, and track and report on your charitable giving with regular statements.
