The charity has to support the UK Gift Aid scheme (which they can only do if they are a registered charity in the UK, EU, Norway, Iceland, or Liechtenstein), and you must have opted in to use Gift Aid at the time of making the donation. Quite a shame that there is no mechanism for donating to US 501(c)(3) charities or the like from pre-tax income. | |
