UK Gift Aid
Your donation supports the Asia Scotland Institute’s mission to strengthen connections between Scotland and Asia through dynamic programs in business, arts, culture, education, and policy.

Make Your Donation Go Further with Gift Aid
Gift Aid is a UK government initiative that allows registered charities like the Asia Scotland Institute to claim an additional 25p for every £1 you donate—at no extra cost to you. This means your support goes even further in helping us achieve our mission of strengthening connections between Scotland and Asia and inspiring the leaders of tomorrow.
How Does Gift Aid Work?
When you donate to the Asia Scotland Institute and are a UK taxpayer, we can claim 25% of your donation amount from HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC). For example:
•If you donate £20, we can claim an additional £5, making your total contribution £25.
•If you donate £100, we can claim an extra £25, making your total contribution £125.
This additional funding makes a significant difference to our work and helps us deliver even more impactful programs and initiatives.
Who is Eligible?
