We are CAF
and we make giving count
We are CAF and we exist to make giving go further, so together we can transform
more lives and communities around the world.
We are a charity, a bank and a champion for better giving, and for over 90 years
we’ve been helping donors, companies, charities and social organisations make a
bigger impact.
We are CAF and we make giving count.
• In 2017/18, we distributed £505 million to good causes, which means that since
2000, we have received £7.2 billion from donors and paid out £6.4 billion to
charities.
• We claimed over £57 million in Gift Aid on behalf of our donors, reducing the
administrative burden on charities and making sure they don’t miss out on this vital
source of additional income.
• CAF Bank has lent over £100 million to charities to date, helping projects as varied
as a new housing development, a heritage railway museum and the renovation of a
local well-being hub for people with mental health difficulties.
• We encouraged more than 2,000 charities and businesses to join forces for Giving
Tuesday, the global day of action to celebrate and promote charitable giving and
volunteering.
Make planning a legacy easier with our CAF Charitable Legacy Service, to help
reduce the burden of administration and inheritance tax for your clients.
