Canine partners in conservation

The livestock guarding dog (LGD) programme is one of the most successful initiatives at Cheetah Conservation Fund (CCF). CCF breeds LGDs at our model farm in Namibia. The dogs are placed with farmers in ‘hotspots’ of human-wildlife conflict. These special animals use their imposing presence and loud bark warn off predators such as cheetahs, stopping farmers from trapping or shooting them in retaliation for killing their livestock. The programme is proven to reduce livestock losses to predators by up to 90%.

By ticking the "Yes" box, I agree I would like Cheetah Conservation Fund United Kingdom to reclaim the tax on all qualifying donations I have made, as well as any future donations, until I notify them otherwise. I understand that if I pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all my donations in that tax year I may be asked to pay any difference. I understand that Cheetah Conservation Fund United Kingdom will reclaim 25p of tax on every £1 that I give.

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid does not cost you a penny more, but can add an additional 25p to every £1 you donate. When Cheetah Conservation Fund United Kingdom receives a donation from a UK taxpayer, we're entitled to claim an amount of tax (calculated at the basic rate of income tax in that year) paid on that donation. Once you have given your permission for us to do this on your behalf, there is no need for you to do anything else.

All that is required is that you must be a taxpayer and that would have paid or will pay sufficient Income and/or Capital Gains Tax to cover all the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations in that tax year. Please note that it is your responsibility to pay any difference.

The amount of tax we claim will be 25% of the total value of your donations in that tax year. Furthermore, if you are a higher taxpayer, you are also entitled to claim the difference between the basic rate which we will claim and the amount of tax you have actually paid. For further details on how you can do this, please contact your tax office. If your tax situation changes and your gifts will no longer be eligible for the Gift Aid scheme please contact us and we will amend your record accordingly.

Help CCF care for LGDs

CCF has a small group of dogs working at its model farm in Namibia, where farmers learn predator-friendly ways to bolster their income and keep their herds healthier. Under careful observation, the dogs at CCF participate in the breeding programme and they all serve as active working animals to guard CCF’s livestock herds. The field education team conducts farm visits throughout the year, undertaking health checks on more than 200 LGD placements. Field staff provide essential information and guidance for the farmers using LGDs at their farms.

There is currently a waiting list of farmers in need of a livestock guarding dog.

Sponsor the guard dog programme so we can continue to decrease human-wildlife conflict across Namibia and expand the programme into more of the cheetah’s range.
