FUNDRAISING REQUESTS COMING THICK AND FAST?

You know the feeling; your friends or colleagues have signed up to raise money for a charity they care about - and they ask you to sponsor them. You don’t want to disappoint them, but you hadn’t planned for it.
And payday’s a long way off …

A CAF Charity Account lets you put money aside when you can. And, with funds in your account, you can sponsor people without a second thought – there’s no need to find extra cash.

It’s so flexible that you can top-up with small, regular contributions or large, less frequent payments. The choice is yours.

GIVING MADE EASY WITH A CAF CHARITY ACCOUNT

Your CAF Charity Account lets you support your own favourite causes when you choose to. Donate quickly to emergency or TV appeals, or set up standing orders to charities you want to support on a regular basis.

And - because we care that your donation is going to a legitimate charity, set up for charitable purposes – we’ll check the organisation before we send them your hard-earned money.

How do I sponsor someone with my CAF Charity Account?

It only takes three steps:

  • Use our charity search to access over 160,000 charities, and make a donation directly to your friend or family’s chosen cause.
  • Tick ‘I’m sponsoring a friend’ and add an inspirational message.
  • Your friend receives an email telling them about your donation so they can update their offline fundraising total.
