We want donating to be simple, and, so far as possible, tax-effective. We have set up an account called 'The Cochrane Foundation' to receive donations. The following methods are recommended:

By credit or debit card

By cheque

Other donation methods

By credit or debit card

If you are from any country except the USA
(but including the USA, where tax-efficient giving is not an issue)

Use the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) website:

• Enter 'Cochrane Collaboration' in their keyword search, then click the 'Search' button.
• Click on 'Donate' link and follow the instructions.
  (Note: If you are a UK taxpayer, please remember to tick the GiftAid box).
• Smile and relax: you have done a good thing!

If you are from the USA and need tax-efficient giving
(minimum donation $500)

Use the CAFAmerica webpage:

• Fill in the details of your donation.
• At the box 'Suggest a foreign charity' write 'Cochrane Collaboration'.
• Please DO NOT tick the box 'OR donate to CAFAmerica', or we will not receive the donation.
