Sponsor the care of a CCF Resident Cheetah
The CCF cares for over 30 orphaned, old or injured cheetahs who cannot be released back into the wild as they do not have the skills or physical capability to survive. To meet the cheetahs, read their stories, and help to sponsor them, click here.

Sponsor the care of an Anatolian Livestock Guarding Dog
The 'Livestock Guarding Dog Programme' is one of CCF's most successful programmes. The CCF breeds and places Anatolian Shepherd puppies, free, to commercial and communal farmers throughout Namibia. The puppies bond with their herds and when grown protect the herds from predators. To learn more, click here.

Help us to save cheetahs in the wild
You can support our work with cheetahs in the wild via our 'Save a Wild Cheetah' programme (formerly "adoptions"). You can support our work at different levels, as you feel appropriate. Your supporting contribution is not tied to specific cheetahs but is used entirely for the care and protection of all the wild cheetahs we work with in Africa and elsewhere. To find out more about helping us save cheetahs in the wild, click here.

Shop at Buy.at/cheetahs
Buy.at/cheetahs is a special on-line shop where you can buy everything from clothes to insurance to holidays to CDs and DVDs, from over 80 major UK retailers like M&S, Amazon, Comet, T-Mobile and John Lewis, often at lower-than-High Street prices. Every time you buy, CCF UK gets a commission. Transactions are handled direct by the merchants and not by CCF. To visit the Buy.at/cheetahs web shop, click here.

Buy wildlife art from artists and photographers supporting CCF
These artists and photographers offer some stunning wildlife photography and artworks. Each one has signed an agreement to give a proportion of their income to support the work of CCF – a statement on their site will tell you how it works. Visit our artists' page to link to their sites.

Maximise your support with GiftAid
Gift Aid is one of the simplest and most effective ways of giving to CCF UK for British taxpayers. Using Gift Aid means that for every pound you give, CCF will receive an extra 28 pence from the Inland Revenue. This means that a £10 Gift Aid donation is worth £12.80 to CCF - imagine what a difference that could make to our work. It doesn't cost you a thing, and it's so easy to do.

Help CCF with a bequest
Gifts left to CCF may be tax-deductible, and with suitable planning you may be able to make a significant bequest to support CCF’s work without incurring estate taxation. Before proceeding with a bequest, please consult your tax advisor: this paragraph and other pages covering this subject on the CCF web site are not legal documents and should not be taken as a statement or interpretation of the law.

Payroll Giving
If your employer runs a Payroll Giving Scheme, you can donate to your chosen charities from your salary before tax is deducted, so you get tax relief straight away. For example, if you are a high rate taxpayer and you donate £100 a month, you only pay £60. Find out from your employer whether they have such a Payroll Scheme - and if not, perhaps suggest they set one up.

Gifts of Shares and securities or land and buildings
You can get income tax relief when you donate quoted shares and securities to charity. For example, if you donate shares worth £1000, you could reduce your income tax bill by £400. No capital gains tax will be due on the gift.
