The ’umbrella charities’ Gift Aid scheme is operated through local infrastructure organisations such as Council for Voluntary Service (CVS). This scheme allows local community and voluntary groups established with a charitable purpose for public benefit to access the benefit of Gift Aid on donations from supporters, when the donations are directed through local umbrella organisations that are registered charities.
The Government supports this scheme, which helps Gift Aid to reach local charitable fundraising activities. The Government has published guidance on how to operate such a scheme.
