GiveWheel operates two distinct ways for charities to receive money. The first is through GiveWheel’s ‘Donor Assist’ service by which GiveWheel provides a service to assist donors with their giving. In this case, no services are provided to the charity, nor do they hold an account on GiveWheel. GiveWheel pledges to ensure the safe and prompt transfer of donated funds to the recipient charity on behalf of the donor, without taking platform deductions. 

The second way is via GiveWheel’s charity membership. This is free for charities and requires the charity to hold an account on the GiveWheel platform. As with Donor Assist, GiveWheel takes no platform deductions from donations. This is the recommended approach and offers a number of benefits to the charity. Note: A charity can decide at any point to take advantage of GiveWheel platform services, at which point Donor Assist for this organisation will be converted to a charity membership.

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.
