Crowdfunder, the UK’s leading crowdfunding platform has partnered with Swiftaid to help simplify the Gift Aid process for their charity clients.

Crowdfunder has already helped over 300,000 charities, businesses and community projects to raise over £250 million, and now charities using Crowdfunder can choose to benefit from automated Gift Aid with Swiftaid. The partnership with Swiftaid adds to Crowdfunder’s growing list of benefits for charities, including their recent partnership with Nectar which enables charities to take donations via Nectar points.

Swiftaid, created by digital payment specialists Streeva – fully automates the Gift Aid process on charitable donations for both donors and charities. The partnership enables charities that are on the Crowdfunder platform to simply register to Swiftaid to claim Gift Aid on donations.

With many households struggling, and disposable income disappearing. There’s an increased demand on the charity sector even though charities themselves are seeing a reduction in donations and government funding. So now more than ever, it’s important something is done to reduce the staggering £564 million in Gift Aid that goes unclaimed every year. This is exactly what Swiftaid is here to help with.

“Crowdfunder’s mission is to help tackle society’s challenges and this collaboration comes at a time when we know charities need as much support as possible. Adding Swiftaid as an option for charities will simplify and automate the processing of GiftAid for the charities and ups the conversion of collecting Gift Aid declarations from supporters - so it’s all round good news. Swiftaid is the latest addition in our growing suite of products for charities and fundraisers including Nectar Donate, Strava integration and our charity prize draw product”

Simon Deverell - Crowdfunder Founder & Chief Creative Officer

“It’s great to be working with Crowdfunder. This partnership will not only help charities using Crowdfunder simply benefit from Gift Aid but add great value to the charities and donors already in Swiftaid’s network. Every platform provider, charity and donor that joins Swiftaid, significantly increases the chances of Gift Aid being claimed and reducing the staggering amount that goes unclaimed every year. ”

Beth Michael - Swiftaid Co-founder & Chief Operations Officer

Crowdfunder is the latest platform to join the Swiftaid network.
