Reviewing gift aid and charitable giving
October 2010
The Government sponsored research into the Gift Aid Forum in 2009 and involved 20 organisations including the Centre for Charitable Giving and Philanthropy (CGAP). The Forum, which ran from January to November 2010, explored proposals for reforming and simplifying Gift Aid – the system which enables people to make tax-effective donations to UK charities. CGAP contributed to the Forum’s report and the Treasury confirmed it would implement many of the report’s proposals.
