How to make a donation

Historic Royal Palaces is the independent charity that loves and looks after six of the most magnificent palaces in the world.

We know the palaces have the power to lift an ordinary day into the extraordinary, to fire imaginations and spark debate. Together, we can ensure the palaces we care for are open and accessible to everyone for generations to come.

For further information on how you can be part of Historic Royal Palaces, please contact our Development team at [email protected].

How Gift Aid works

The Gift Aid Scheme has been made much more user-friendly for the average donor with the abolition of the minimum donation requirement.

  • If you are a basic or higher rate UK taxpayer, the Gift Aid Scheme allows us to reclaim a further 25p on every £1 you donate to us. This really boosts our income – and doesn’t cost you a single penny extra! 
  • If you pay higher rate tax, you can claim the difference between the higher rate of tax 40 and/or 50 per cent and the basic rate of tax 20 per cent on the total 'gross' value of your donation.  This means that your donation of £1000 will be worth £1250 for Historic Royal Palaces and will mean you can claim back £250 if you pay tax at 40 per cent (£1250 × 20%) or £370.50 if you pay tax at 50 per cent (£1250 × 20%) plus (£1250 × 10%).
