Why work with Kent Community Foundation?
We make giving easy and fun! We identify the causes you are interested in and use our local expertise and network of contacts to put you in touch with fantastic local charities. Thanks to our research into the needs of the county and relationships with charities and community groups across Kent and Medway, we can often find wonderful grassroots projects, operating below the radar, where a modest sum of money can make a huge difference.
We review, monitor and evaluate diligently on your behalf so you can have full confidence in our grant-making.
Gift Aid your donation
Gift Aid is a tax relief allowing UK charities to reclaim an extra 25% in tax on every eligible donation made by a UK taxpayer. So for every £1 donation Kent Community Foundation can claim back 25p.
What do you have to do?
Confirm whether or not you are a UK taxpayer. Please note that Gift Aid can only be reclaimed on donations made by individuals who pay UK income or capital gains tax at a rate at least equal to the amount reclaimed on their donations in the current tax year.
