What is Gift Aid?
Gift Aid allows registered UK charities to claim an extra 25p for every £1 you give from the Government. It does not cost you, the supporter, anything on top of your original donation amount. For instance, if you make a contribution of £10 and make a Gift Aid declaration while you’re doing so, the charity can claim £2.50 from the government so they actually receive £12.50*. Only UK tax-payers can make a Gift Aid declaration.
If you’re donating via Donr’s Text Giving service (you’re texting a keyword to a short phone number e.g. 70085), you may have the option to make a Gift Aid declaration via a link which will be sent either in the ‘Thank You’ message which will be triggered via your donation or in a separate second message sent after the ‘Thank You’ message.
If you are donating online via a Giving Page, click the box to indicate you qualify to make a Gift Aid declaration while you’re going through the donation process payment flow, and then follow any further instructions.
*This calculation does not take into account Donr’s platform fee and any processing fees that may be applicable to your donation.
