CAF American Donor Fund

The CAF American Donor Fund* is a smart, tax-effective way for dual taxpayers to give to charity. If you file tax returns in both the UK and the US, the CAF American Donor Fund allows you to achieve greater impact with your philanthropy by helping you claim the maximum relief available in both countries.

The CAF American Donor Fund is designed for individuals or companies that pay tax in the US and the UK. The CAF American Donor Fund is perfect for you if:

• You are UK domiciled and resident/US dual registered.
• UK non-domiciled and resident/US dual registered.
• UK non-domiciled and non-resident/US dual registered.
• A UK partner in a US-based LLP.

If you only pay tax in the UK, you might wish to consider our CAF Charitable Trust . If you only pay tax in the US, you might like to consider using CAF America instead.

You make a donation into your CAF American Donor Fund and we send you receipts for UK and US tax purposes.
We reclaim the basic rate of UK income tax under the Gift Aid scheme and add it to your account.
You claim back the difference between the basic and higher rates in your self assessment to HMRC.
You submit the receipt for your donation to the IRS when you file your US tax return.
You tell us which charities you would like to support and, subject to them meeting all the criteria, we will pass on your donation.
