Millions of donors and hundreds of charities already use Swiftaid

"I would highly recommend Swiftaid, for any charity – large and small. The ease of using the product and its ability to identify unclaimed Gift Aid, with very limited resource required from the charities, makes this a hugely valuable initiative."

– Tara Honeywell, Barnardos

"Thanks to Swiftaid, we are in a far better position to claim Gift Aid on donations from wonderful supporters that would otherwise remain unclaimed or else use valuable resource to manually follow up."

– Rebekah Severn, Noah's Ark Children's Hospice

What is Gift Aid?

Gift Aid allows UK charities to claim the basic rate of tax that has already been paid on donations, boosting each one by 25% at no extra cost to the donor.

Frequently asked questions

  • Donors only need to sign up once and reauthorise once a year to automate Gift Aid declarations on all donations made through any supported platforms and charities.

    Swiftaid supports a network of donors, charities and platforms. If a donor joins the network through another charity or platform, Gift Aid will automatically be added to any donations made to your charity.

    Each tax year, donors are asked to ensure their details are up to date and reauthorise Swiftaid to create declarations on their behalf. Donors can simply reauthorise Swiftaid when donating through any supported platform or within their Swiftaid account.

  • Swiftaid was established with initial funding from an Innovate UK grant and equity investment. Swiftaid provides a number of features for platforms and charities. You can check out the fees on our pricing page .

    Creating a donor account is free. Donors can automate Gift Aid on their donations and receive an end-of-year statement at no cost. An optional paid plan (£19.99 a year) unlocks more from the donor dashboard, including seeing all donations and progress, full statement history, PDF Gift Aid summaries, and recording donations.

  • Swiftaid will only add Gift Aid to donations that the charity has warranted. The charity can inform Swiftaid that it is adding Gift Aid to a donation before submitting a claim to HMRC, to ensure it isn’t claimed twice.

  • One of Swiftaid’s core values is to respect the privacy and confidentiality of everyone.

    Donors authorise Swiftaid as a donor intermediary and their data is only ever used to process Gift Aid. Swiftaid doesn’t share Gift Aid declarations with charities but instead acts as a nominee on their behalf to submit claims directly to HMRC (or provide it to other intermediaries to solely use for the purpose of processing Gift Aid).

    Removing the need to share the data with charities keeps them outside GDPR requirements, allowing even the smallest charity to benefit from the Gift Aid network.
