Did you know that nearly £600 million in Gift Aid income goes unclaimed every year?
This is because many charities aren’t claiming Gift Aid at all, and of those that are claiming Gift Aid, many aren’t claiming the full amount that they are entitled to.
GoodtoGive have been helping charities increase their income since 2010. Our unique Gift Aid Maximisation process ensures that the charities we work with are able to claim every penny that they are entitled to.
At GoodtoGive our unique process and custom built software, ensures that Gift Aid isn’t just a one-off payment but an ongoing source of income to further your good work.
We understand the daunting task of managing Gift Aid declarations and the stress associated with the potential for audits. Our services are designed to not only streamline the submission process, but also help your organisation be audit-ready. Not only that, but if you are audited we’ll manage the entire audit process for you.
Avoid the risk of repaying Gift Aid with interest or the consequence of being barred from claims altogether. Let GoodtoGive take care of the intricacies of HMRC compliance, so you can focus on what truly matters – your charity’s mission.
By offering a retrospective claiming service for donations, we can process your backlog of donation information, be it spreadsheets, journals or envelopes, and integrate them into our secure online system.

How Our System Can Help Faith-Based Charities
Declarations are the key to a successful gift aid claim.
They are the contract between the donors and HMRC which is why we treat them with care.
Each one is converted into a digital equivalent so it can be quickly retrieved or matched to a donation.
Our innovative system electronically delivers your claim directly into HMRC’s computer system, eliminating the need for manual processing.
This streamlined approach not only ensures accuracy but also massively accelerates the entire process, significantly reducing the time it takes for your claim to be approved and paid.
The advantage to you is simple. Every donation which has not been claimed on in the past 4 years is checked each time a new Gift Aid declaration hits the system to see if we have any previous donations from that donor. The same thing also happens if a new donation hits the system.
Why is this important?
Donors may visit your charity multiple times in a year, making donations but not completing a gift aid declaration.
In most cases these envelopes will be disposed of, prohibiting a gift aid claim. Gift aid software ensures that this is correctly logged allowing for a successful claim further down the line.
Using our service all donations are scanned indexed and stored.
Let’s say the donor returns 2 years later and completes a gift aid declaration. Overnight, Donation Maximiser will match their donations to the new declaration and add it to your current balance waiting to be claimed.
Empowering your senior team is key to making gift aid successful.
The more everyone knows about the issues and successes, the more inspired everyone becomes.
We send out a useful reports to ensure everyone is kept in the loop.
‘Count it, Write the amount on it and Scan it’.
Gift aid envelopes can be scanned so you don’t have to store them. Save time avoiding transcribing your donations into your accounting system or spreadsheets.
Our gift aid software keeps all your data in a centralised location where it can be easily accessed in the future or when needed.
Our service keeps all your gift aid data safe.
Donations are taken using our specially designed gift aid envelopes.
Your regular members are given a membership number which acts as their gift aid reference number.
Staying in regular touch with your members is an important way to spread your message and grow your membership.
Email marketing is an add-on to our service which enables you to schedule personalised emails to be sent out weekly, monthly, quarterly and yearly to your members and/or visitors.
Every personalised email contains your logo, message, a list of your top 5 events and an unsubscribe option.
Although many charities rely on donations as their primary source of income, many do not take advantage of the internet to promote their message and raise funds.
Our add-on fundraising events page allows you to easily create web pages for your charitable activities. Think of a unique name for your event web-link, fill in the form and off you go. All your web pages will look great and more importantly have a Donate and or Registration button.
Depending on your preference you can use our domain name:
eg. www.goodtogive.co.uk/youreventname
If we spot any errors whilst processing your donations we can make them available to you via your personal login with notes explaining the issues.
You can make the corrections electronically and pass it back to us for processing. This is one of the leading benefits to our gift aid software and has the potential to save you weeks in waiting times.
Many charities justifiably have real concerns about their readiness to undergo a HM Revenue & Customs audit.
An unsuccessful audit could mean having to repay your claim plus interest, prevent you claiming on the Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme and increase the change of further audits in the future.
This is why we manage Audits for all our premium clients. This is just one of the services we offer through our software for charities suite.

GoodtoGive’s system relentlessly pursues the claim of Gift Aid on donations, operating within the 4-year retrospective claim period set by HMRC. Donations are never discarded until every avenue has been thoroughly explored.
To ensure transparency and cooperation, our innovative church accountancy software and collaborative system keeps you updated, highlighting urgent issues that demand your attention. This way, we ensure that any church donation with potential for gift aid does not slip through the cracks.
We understand that often finances are limited and your charity has to rely on volunteers. However in financial matters that are governed by regulation, like Gift Aid, it’s best to hire a professional. Your volunteers might be great, but do they fully understand the ins-and-outs of maximising Gift Aid?
If not, your charity could be missing out on much needed income and your Trustees could be being put at risk, through no fault of your volunteers but simply because they don’t know what they don’t know.
Our Gift Aid Management process is seemless and transparent, so your members and HMRC can access a full audit trail at anytime. With our support, your organisation can stay focused on driving its mission forward, while we keep Gift Aid contributions coming in. This way, GoodtoGive empowers charities to maximise their impact without the distraction of administrative hurdles.
