Are donations tax-deductible?

Donations from the UK

If you are a UK tax payer, you can use your donation receipt for tax purposes. Additionally, if you are a UK tax payer we can also make your donations go further with Gift Aid. Through the Government’s Gift Aid scheme, we can claim an additional 25p for every £1 you donated. If you are based in the UK you will receive an invitation to fill out a Gift Aid form after your donation is processed.

NB. If you are a UK taxpayer and you did not receive a link to our Gift Aid form after donating, you can send us an email to donate@ourworldindata.org and we will reply with the details.

Donations from the US

If you are based in the US, you can donate to us via our partner Every.org. Donating on their platform ensures your eligibility for a tax-deduction in the US: www.every.org/OurWorldInData/donate
