Make a difference with a CAF Charity Account

Support your favourite causes

Charities are going through a tough time at the moment. There are so many amazing organisations to support but it's easy to lose track of how much and who you've donated to.

Do you donate to charity? Want to respond to emergency or TV appeals? Or like to sponsor friends when they fundraise?

The CAF Charity Account makes your charitable giving easier because it’s all in one place.

How does a CAF Charity Account work?

You can top up your CAF Charity Account, make donations and view transactions online - all at the touch of a button. No matter how you choose to give, you can change your preferences at any time.

If you’re a UK taxpayer, we’ll claim the Gift Aid for you and add it to your CAF Charity Account, so you’ve got even more to give.

With money set aside you'll be ready to help charities become stronger again in the future.
