Gift Aid donor research. Funded by HM Revenue and Customs.

This research is designed to understand how individual charitable donors might respond to possible changes in the current system of Gift Aid tax relief, in particular the re-direction of higher rate relief from donors to charities. The research involves both a large-scale of quantitative survey of Gift Aid donors and a smaller-scale qualitative survey of high-value donors.
