My Breakthrough
Gift aid - Increase the value of your donation
Breakthrough Breast Cancer can reclaim tax on all individual donations, under the Inland Revenue's GiftAid scheme. If you're a UK taxpayer, you can increase the value of your individual donations by 28% - and it doesn't cost you anything! Use GiftAid and make your gift worth more, giving Breakthrough more vital funds to spend on breast cancer research and awareness.
How does GiftAid work?
For example:If you donate £100
Breakthrough can claim £28.20
Total donation Breakthrough receives £128.20
GiftAid is one of the easiest and most effective ways of giving to Breakthrough Breast Cancer. It can be used on donations of any amount, large or small, by cash, cheque, postal order, direct debit, standing order, debit or credit card or even foreign currency (including the euro).
To set this up, all you have to do to is give Breakthrough Breast Cancer express permission to GiftAid your donations, and that's it - we'll do the rest. To do this, you can either:
- Download the Gift Aid Form (47 kb)

, print it out, complete, sign and return to us, with your donation, at:
Breakthrough Breast Cancer
Weston House
246 High Holborn
London
WC1V 7EX - Or when making an online donation, tick the GiftAid box on the online form.
It's as straightforward as that!
Once you've made a GiftAid declaration, this can be applied to all of the past donations you've made (since April 2000) and to all future contributions you make.
How do I qualify for GiftAid?
As long as you pay as much tax (income and/or capital gains) as Breakthrough will be reclaiming on your donations in the same financial year, you are entitled to use GiftAid. For example, if you wish to GiftAid charitable donations that total £100 in one year, you will need to have paid at least £28 in tax that tax year.What's more, if you are a higher rate taxpayer looking to reclaim tax from your donation, all you have to do is remember to include details of your charitable gifts on your tax form.
