How is Swiftaid funded?

Swiftaid was established with initial funding from an Innovate UK grant and equity investment. The pricing model for Swiftaid’s partners, which include donation platforms, charities, and integrators, is based on the value of Gift Aid processed:

  • For each live donation where Swiftaid creates a Gift Aid declaration, partners are charged a fee of 5% plus VAT of the Gift Aid value.
  • For donations matched retrospectively through the Gift Aid Finder service, the fee is 10% plus VAT of the Gift Aid value. Donors themselves are not subject to any fees when using Swiftaid.
