CAF American Donor Fund
Claim Eligible Tax Deductions in the US or UK
CAF and CAF America created the CAF American Donor Fund (CADF) for dual US/UK taxpayers. Whether you are an individual or company, you may receive a tax deduction in the US or claim a Gift Aid in the UK.
To maximize the impact of your philanthropic giving, you can also take advantage of an array of fee-based advisory services, including grantmaking advice, research, and more.
Who can use the fund?
The Fund was designed for individuals and companies that pay taxes in the US and the UK.
You may be a US taxpayer who has been relocated to the UK and who wants to support charities back in the US (and vice versa).
Or you may be an individual or company with tax obligations in both the US and UK and an interest in supporting charitable causes around the world.
In each of the cases, The CAF American Donor Fund offers the perfect giving solution.
