Donate

Every donation will be carefully accounted for and will be used to make a difference to the lives of vulnerable children and families. If you want your donation to be used for a specific purpose, please inform us of this when you send us confirmation of your deposit.

South African Donors

Donations exceeding R100 per annum are tax deductible in South Africa, under Section 18A of the Income Tax Act. We will issue you with a tax receipt on request. South Africans can submit the receipt when completing their tax return forms.

Donors must pay enough UK income tax and/or capital gains tax themselves to cover the amount of tax the charity will reclaim on their donations at the end of the tax year (currently 28p for every £1 that they give). For example, for a £100 donation the government will give The Dame Hilary Cropper Charitable Foundation an extra £28. The Foundation will transfer this to The Homestead.
