Description

The Gift Aid addon adds a Gift Aid declaration section to Charitable’s campaign donation forms, allowing donors to confirm eligibility for the UK tax incentive before completing the contribution. With this extension, charities and nonprofit organizations operating in the UK can record the request in the donation flow, view the status in the donations table, and prepare CSV exports for submission to HMRC.

How to Download Gift Aid

Gift Aid is available for download here on Ultrapack. After downloading the .zip file, install it at Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the .zip, and activate it. Charitable must be installed and active for the addon to work.

Gift Aid fits the tax declaration process within the fundraising flow already used in Charitable, without separating the donor from the campaign at the time of contribution. For organizations that rely on consistent records, the additional module helps keep eligibility data, administrative status, and information export on a more predictable path.
