The Great Gift Aid Hunt has unlocked millions in additional Gift Aid revenue for charities across the UK. Don’t miss out – register your charity’s interest below and get ready to maximise your Gift Aid income.
Only to join the hunt!
Swiftaid’s Gift Aid Finder is a straightforward solution that helps charities unlock revenue without asking donors for a single penny.
Your charity provides Swiftaid with details of donations from the current tax year that didn't include Gift Aid.
Swiftaid matches as many of these donations as possible with millions of eligible donors using the platform.
That's it! Swiftaid prepares and submits Gift Aid claims to HMRC, who directly pays the funds to your charity.
For more information on how to use the Gift Aid Finder, please read our Gift Aid Finder guide.

Will donors be notified that our charity is claiming on their donations?
Swiftaid notifies donors by email when Gift Aid is identified. Donors are provided with an opportunity to cancel the Gift Aid on donations if they so wish.
Swiftaid operates under “Donor Intermediary Legislation” and must send an annual statement to donors by 31st May, detailing all Gift Aid added on their behalf over the previous tax year.
Swiftaid are not required to send a statement to an individual if the total value of donations in that tax year is £20 or less or only one Gift Aided donation is made in the tax year.

We adhere to the highest standards of information security to keep donor data safe and secure.
