Charities Aid Foundation of America (CAF America) is a US 501(c)(3) public charity whose mission is to increase the flow of charitable funds outside the United States. It is a subsidiary of the UK based Charities Aid Foundation. It enables US donors to give tax deductible donations to organisations outside the US:

American donors cannot give directly to foreign charitable organizations and obtain a tax deduction. As a US public charity, CAF America is able to accept funds from American donors who can then recommend that CAF America use those funds to support foreign charitable organizations.[1]

CAF America operates Southampton Row Trust Limited as a subsidiary. This is said to be a 'unique giving solution that allows donors paying both US and UK income taxes to receive recognition for their charitable giving in both countries. By donating through a fund at CADF, charitable gifts qualify for gift aid in the UK, as well as standard tax deductibility in the US.[2]

SRTL 'contracts with Charities Aid Foundation (UK) for all day-to-day management activities'.[2]
