How it works

From donation to Gift Aid in three simple steps.

You can complete the process on any modern phone—no app or QR scan is required.

Make your donation

Pay a volunteer using contactless card or a phone wallet. Once payment completes, their screen shows a temporary five-digit code.

Enter the code

Open AddGiftAid and enter the five digits shown by the volunteer within five hours. You do not need to select the charity.

Confirm Gift Aid

Check the donation, then register once or confirm your existing details. The charity can claim an additional 25% if the donation is eligible.

Before confirming

Gift Aid is for UK taxpayers

You must have paid enough UK Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax in the tax year to cover the Gift Aid claimed on all your donations. You remain responsible for any shortfall.
