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.
