A Community First Yorkshire event

Gift Aid – bitesize

The government estimates that over £564 million goes unclaimed in Gift Aid every year!

Many charities are wary of claiming it for fear of getting it wrong and being penalised. Others avoid it because they consider it too time-consuming to manage. This session will guide you through the process and help you boost your charity’s income.

Who doesn’t like money back from HMRC! Gift Aid is a great way to make donors feel like they are giving more. A win win for charities and donors.

This session will provide you with a detailed overview of Gift Aid and guide you through the process of making your first claim.

This live, interactive training will be delivered on Zoom.

By the end of the workshop, you will:

  • Understand what Gift Aid is
  • Understand what donations qualify for Gift Aid
  • Know how to claim Gift Aid
  • Understand the pitfalls and how to avoid them.

This training is suitable for organisations and charities intending to make applications for funding, including all staff and volunteers responsible for submitting funding bids.
