American Donors

Support our work

We have a relationship with Charity Aid Foundation Bank in the UK, which gives overseas donors the opportunity to support the work of the Vindolanda Trust via a scheme called Donor Advised Gifts. This can be done by completing a donation form or using the CAF America bank website, links provided below.

Donor Advised Gifts

DAGs are the perfect solution for US donors who want to give globally without establishing a fund at CAF America. DAGs enable all types of US donors, including individuals, foundations, and corporations, to make single donations as desired. With DAGs donors make a single tax-effective gift to CAF America and recommend that the funds be further granted to the foreign charitable organization of their choosing.

Give with confidence

CAF America conducts industry-leading due diligence reviews of international and domestic organizations to ensure that all grants are made to legitimate charitable programs, funds are used for their intended purpose and are in full compliance with all US laws as well as local government regulations. This enables donors to mitigate the risk, reputational exposure and administrative burden associated with international grantmaking, while allowing them to make impactful, cost-effective and tax-advantaged gifts. In addition, with CAF America’s validation and due diligence protocols, approved organizations remain eligible for upwards of three years.

The Vindolanda Trust is a totally independent charity that can only continue to excavate, conserve, research and educate with the money it raises from donations and visitors to Vindolanda Roman and the Roman Army Museum. The income comes from entrance fees, from our friendship scheme and from our guests spending in our shops and cafes. The Trust does not receive annual income from any other source. If you would like to help us preserve the past for future generations to learn please consider giving a donation.
