To receive an acknowledgment please include contact details and this will be sent to you upon receipt of your donation.

While we appreciate offers to support CAMFED partner schools with supplies, we are unable to accept these kinds of gifts.
CAMFED avoids overhead and administrative costs associated with shipping donated goods or associated with centralised procurement, warehousing and transport. Instead, we provide cash transfers directly to partner schools so that they can buy the supplies they need.
This policy also helps us support local businesses in Africa that sell school supplies, uniforms, and books. For example, some members of the CAMFED Association, CAMFED’s alumnae network, have started businesses making uniforms for schools in their districts.
Yes, we gratefully accept donations of stock. In order to make a donation of stock please contact contact@camfed.org and we will send you comprehensive instructions.
In the UK, our tax identification is: CAMFED International, registered charity #1029161. For other countries please see the footer at the bottom of all the pages on our website.
For online donations, the acknowledgment you receive via email serves as your receipt for tax purposes.
For donations made by other means, the donation acknowledgment sent to you by post or email serves as your receipt.
To request a duplicate receipt please contact donations@camfed.org
In keeping with our privacy policy, we do not transmit, transfer or sell private information to any outside parties.
If you pay Income Tax or Capital Gains Tax, CAMFED International can reclaim Gift Aid on your generous gifts. It doesn’t cost you a penny, and helps us do even more.
Gift Aid is a UK Government Scheme that allows charities to claim on the tax you pay for the current tax year. Claiming Gift Aid boosts your donation by 25p for every £1 you donate. Your name and address is needed in order to identify you as a current UK taxpayer.
If you’re donating via our website, tick the Gift Aid box when making your gift. If you don’t see that option or if donating by other means, such as a bank transfer or cheque, contact us to ensure your gifts are 25% more powerful.
You can check out our Fundraise page to see how other supporters have raised money, explore our resources, and see how you can make your own personal fundraising page. You can set up digital fundraising pages on JustGiving, GoFundMe, Facebook, and others – just search for CAMFED.
We’d be delighted to share materials to support your fundraising efforts.
Please get in touch with us and tell us about your event and we can send you the relevant materials: contact@camfed.org
There are several options to pay in money you have raised through collections at a fundraising event:
We have a selection of photos and text you are welcome to use to spread the word, get in touch with us and one of our team will be in touch.
CAMFED will NEVER go door-to-door asking for money, or canvass people in the street. If someone stops you in the street or comes to your house claiming to be from CAMFED, please do not give them any money or personal financial details. Instead, report them to your local authorities, and please inform your nearest CAMFED office about the impersonation.
If your question wasn’t covered here, a member of our team would be delighted to help with your query.
