Reclaim Gift Aid

Gift Aid It!Add 25% more to your donation at no cost to you. A Gift Aid declaration allows Al Basar International Foundation to claim tax back on eligible donations. It means that for every £1 you donate to Al Basar International Foundation we can claim back 25p, at no extra cost to you.

By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Al Basar International Foundation to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that Al Basar International Foundation will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Al Basar International Foundation receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.

Gift clear vision to a child in need

Millions of children struggle in school due to untreated vision problems – often solved with a simple pair of glasses. Our school eye screenings programme provides free tests and glasses to children in rural communities, helping prevent avoidable blindness and ensuring children get the care they need. Since 80% of learning depends on sight, your support gives children the chance to learn, play, and thrive with clear vision. Together, we can create a brighter future.

Protecting Children’s Sight in Rural Communities

Every year, millions of children struggle in school and daily life simply because they cannot see clearly.

Globally, 450 million children have vision conditions that need care, and many live in rural communities with limited healthcare. Up to 40% of childhood blindness is caused by preventable conditions.

With timely screenings, education, awareness, and early intervention, children who might otherwise lose their sight can be given the chance to learn, thrive, and build a brighter future.

Your support helps us reach children in rural schools before it’s too late.
