Gift Aid

Donations and sponsorship payments are eligible for Gift Aid providing donors are paying at least the amount of UK income tax reclaimed on their donations. In the 2010/2011 tax year this makes a £100 donation worth £125 to the Anglo-Thai Foundation, and the Government contributes another £3. Our understanding is that, if you pay tax at the 40% or new 50% rate, you will be able personally to reclaim a further £41.66 or £75 through your tax return.

What should be the ATF’s top priority?

Mr. Thotsaporn

Mr Thotsaporn is 23 years old and from Sisaket province. He has been sponsored by the ATF for 12 years.

He is the son of rice farmers and one of 7 siblings. He is now in the fourth year of a mathematics degree at university.

“Thanks to the Anglo-Thai Foundation I got the chance to study at university. As my family are so poor I couldn’t have got here by myself. This encouraged me to take a step further in my education because I knew that the ATF would be right behind me. All my brothers and sisters and most of my friends left school during their secondary education and I am the only one in my family to go to university. Most of my brothers and sisters left home when they were married so, as the youngest, I feel it is my duty to look after my parents. I have a 3.8 Grade Average and have been asked to study for a Masters Degree. I hope that one day I will be able to do that.”
