Introducing Uplift: Gift Aid for Wix

Our first app for Wix is live. Uplift: Gift Aid adds UK Gift Aid to the donations you take on your Wix site, so your charity or CASC can claim an extra 25p from HMRC for every £1 a UK taxpayer gives.

Why we built it

Gift Aid is one of the easiest ways for a charity to raise more from the donations it already gets, but the paperwork puts many small charities off. Declarations have to use the right wording, be matched to the right donations and be kept for years, and claims have to be in HMRC’s format. Uplift handles that for you.

How it works

• Donors add Gift Aid on your site. A Gift Aid widget sits on your donation pages with HMRC’s declaration wording built in. Donors enter their name and home address and confirm the declaration.
• Every declaration is kept. Uplift saves the exact wording each donor saw, with the date and time.
• Donations are matched for you. Each Wix Donations payment is matched to its declaration, including past and future gifts, and refunds are tracked so your next claim is adjusted.
• Your claim file is ready. On the Standard plan, Uplift prepares HMRC’s Gift Aid schedule spreadsheet for you to attach in Charities Online. Uplift never contacts HMRC: you stay in control and submit the claim yourself.

The Standard plan also adds paper and phone declarations, one follow-up email to donors who gave without Gift Aid, and CSV exports of all your records.

Your records stay in your site

Uplift doesn’t store anything on our servers. It runs on Wix and keeps your declarations, donations and claims in your own Wix site, for as long as HMRC requires.

Pricing

There is a free plan with the Gift Aid widget, the declaration wording and donation matching. Standard is £5.98 a month, or £4.98 a month billed yearly, billed through Wix.
