How does it work?

The Great Gift Aid Hunt is an easy way to increase income for your charity without asking your donors for a single penny.

Step 1
Send us donation information
Using our template, send as much information as you can about donations that didn't include Gift Aid.
Step 2
We'll match and add Gift Aid
We will work our magic and match as many donations as possible with the millions of people using Swiftaid.
Step 3
That's it!
Swiftaid prepares and submits claims to HMRC, who then directly pays your charity.
