Gift Aid

How do I enable Gift Aid?

Gift Aid allows eligible UK charities to claim an extra 25% on donations at no additional cost to the donor.

You can enable Gift Aid for your organisation from your dashboard.

How Gift Aid works

  • Donors are asked if their donation is eligible for Gift Aid.
  • If eligible, your organisation can claim an additional 25% from HMRC.
  • Gift Aid is only available to qualifying UK charities.

Before you enable Gift Aid

  • Your organisation must be a registered UK charity.
  • You must be able to claim Gift Aid from HMRC.

If your organisation is not a registered charity, you should leave Gift Aid turned off.

Enabling Gift Aid

  1. Go to your dashboard and open Gift Aid.
  2. Turn on Enable Gift Aid for this organisation.
  3. Click Save.

What happens after you enable it

  • Donors will be asked if their donation is eligible for Gift Aid.
  • You will be able to claim Gift Aid on eligible donations through HMRC.

Changing your Gift Aid status

  2. Turn the setting on or off as needed.
  3. Click Save to apply your changes.

Things to keep in mind
