We're excited to offer Gift Aid processing through our partner, Swiftaid, as part of Crowdfunder’s charity services. This means registered charities can now have Gift Aid automatically claimed and processed—for a small fee—by opting in to Swiftaid.
Getting Started
Existing charities on Crowdfunder can activate Swiftaid through their Charity Profile settings.
New to Crowdfunder? Start setting up your Charity Profile here.
💡 Note: This integration is only available to charities with a completed Charity Profile page on Crowdfunder.
Gift Aid claims cannot be backdated—Swiftaid must be set up and linked to your profile before any donations are made for those pledges to be eligible.
How It Works
Swiftaid simplifies the Gift Aid process by:
Handling all Gift Aid claims directly with HMRC
Transferring collected Gift Aid funds to your charity
Swiftaid charges a 5% fee on all Gift Aid successfully claimed through their service.
What You Need to Do
Create a Swiftaid account if you don’t already have one.
Log in to your Swiftaid account and enable Crowdfunder as a donation source.
Choose how Gift Aid is managed within your Crowdfunder Charity Profile settings.
💡 Note: If you already have a Swiftaid account, you can log in to your Swiftaid account and enable Crowdfunder as a donation source.
If you don’t yet have a Swiftaid account, you’ll need to sign up on the Swiftaid website to get started.
By choosing Swiftaid to manage your Gift Aid:
They’ll handle the claims and transfer the Gift Aid funds directly to you.
You’ll also be able to access detailed reporting on Gift Aid collected through your Crowdfunder Charity Profile via Swiftaid’s dashboard.
⚠️ Please note: Crowdfunder does not process or transfer Gift Aid payments when using Swiftaid, and we do not manage these payments.
If you choose Swifaid to manage your GiftAid, they will transfer you the funds, and you will have access to reporting on Swiftaid's site of how much GiftAid has come from your Crowdfunder Charity Profile.
Alternatively, you can choose to manage Gift Aid manually.
Crowdfunder can collect Gift Aid declaration information from donors who opt in, allowing you to submit your claim to HMRC.
