Support us

Chatham House (the Royal Institute of International Affairs) is a Registered Charity (no. 208223). It relies on membership fees, sponsorship and charitable donations from trusts, foundations, companies and individuals for its income. It receives no core funding from government. It therefore needs your help to make sure that it stays at the top of the league and continues to push at the boundaries of thinking in international affairs.

If you would like to support a specific project and would like to know more about our new initiatives please contact the membership department (Tel: +44 (0)20 7957 5700).

There are several ways you can give:

Gift Aid

Increase the value of your donations for free through Gift Aid.

If you are a UK taxpayer, you can make a tax efficient Gift Aid donation by completing a declaration valid for this and all future donations.

Download a Gift Aid Donation form.

Gift Aid donations made by UK taxpayers allow Chatham House to reclaim £2.50 from the Inland Revenue for every £10 donated (representing 20% basic rate tax). In addition, if you are a higher rate taxpayer, you may also reclaim 20% (the difference between the basic and higher rates of tax) of the total value of the gift in your Self-Assessment return. For example:

a. You donate £1,000.00
b. Chatham House gets £1,250.00
c. You reclaim 20% of b £250.00
d. Actual cost to you (a - c) £750

All you need to do is complete a Gift Aid Donation form. This will be valid for all future donations to Chatham House. You do not need to do this if you have already made a Gift Aid declaration.

Companies can also make tax-efficient donations through Gift Aid by simply deducting the amount when working out profits for corporation tax purposes. There is no need to deduct any tax from the payment and the charity does not claim back any tax on the gift. Companies no longer have to provide a Gift Aid certificate to the charity nor provide a new form of declaration.

For further details please contact Chatham House for a leaflet or visit the Inland Revenue website.

Recognition

All donors will be acknowledged, thanked and listed in our Annual Report and on the website unless you prefer to remain anonymous. For major donors we offer opportunities to 'name' rooms and areas within Chatham House as well as the chance to endow new named research posts, projects and programmes.
