Remember us in your Will
Gifts in your Will to charities like Wikimedia UK are exempt from Inheritance Tax. From 6 April 2012, leaving 10% or more of your estate to charity will also mean that your whole estate benefits from a reduced level of Inheritance Tax. If you are interested in making this particularly special kind of gift to make our shared vision of free and open knowledge live on, please do get in touch with Chris Keating on chris.keatingwikimedia.org.uk. You can also find out more about leaving gifts to charity at www.rememberacharity.org.uk.
Gift Aid
Gifts made to Wikimedia UK since 3 November 2011 are eligible for Gift Aid, which means that we can reclaim an extra 25% of your donation. You can make a Gift Aid declaration using our online form. Alternatively, you can download and print off a standard Gift Aid form and post it to us at the above address.
