Frequently Asked

We are able to facilitate payment for donations via bank transfer for any fundraiser on GiveWheel. When you opt to process a payment via this method, we’ll automatically generate an invoice, and you can add any memo details for reporting purposes. Invoices need to be paid via UK bank transfer using the details and payment reference provided on the invoice. Depending on your card and location, a bank transfer may also result in lower payment processing fees.

If you attempt to donate more than £500.00 to any fundraiser on GiveWheel, we’ll automatically offer the choice of a bank transfer rather than a card payment. If you’re looking to donate less than this, you can manually pay by bank transfer by adding /bank-transfer/ to the URL of any fundraising page.

For larger donations (£1000), individuals and businesses may want to generate an invoice. This allows any memo details to be added for reporting purposes. Invoices also have the additional advantage of being settled through bank transfer, rather than card payment. 

To generate an invoice linked to a fundraising page, navigate to the fundraising page you wish to donate to and add /bank-transfer/ to the url. Alternatively if you enter an amount >£1,000 on the donation page, we will automatically prompt the choice of bank transfer and invoice generation.

Gift Aid is a tax relief allowing UK charities to reclaim an extra 25% in tax on every eligible donation made by a UK taxpayer.

GiveWheel enables donors to complete a Gift Aid declaration at the point of donation. This declaration is compulsory for donors intending to allow Gift Aid to be reclaimed on their donation and requires the donor to acknowledge and confirm that they, and their donation, meet the necessary requirements for Gift Aid. GiveWheel does not provide a Gift Aid reclamation service - charities either reclaim Gift Aid directly with HMRC with the donation reports provided by GiveWheel, or receive reclaimed Gift Aid through Charities Trust; a registered UK charity (no. 327489) that reclaim Gift Aid in their own name before transferring to the recipient charities. 

Note: Gift Aid cannot be claimed in some cases, such as where something is received in exchange for the donation. Refer to (https://www.givewheel.com/help/4/gift-aid-donor-guide/) for further details.

Gift Aid metrics on the platform are representative of how much Gift Aid is eligible to be reclaimed, not a guarantee that the charities have reclaimed Gift Aid.
