Uplift: Gift Aid adds UK Gift Aid to the donations you take on your Wix site. When a UK taxpayer gives, your charity or CASC can claim an extra 25p from HMRC for every £1. Uplift collects the donor's Gift Aid declaration, matches it to their donations and prepares HMRC's claim file for you.

Who can use Uplift

  • UK charities and CASCs that are recognised by HMRC for Gift Aid.

  • You use HMRC's Charities Online service to make your claims.

  • You take donations on your Wix site with Wix Donations.

1. Add Uplift to your site

Find Uplift: Gift Aid on the Wix App Market and click Add to Site. You can start on the free plan.

2. Add the Gift Aid widget to your donation pages

Place the Uplift Gift Aid widget on each page where you take donations, then publish your site. Donors can then add Gift Aid when they give. See Add the Gift Aid widget to your donation pages.

3. Check your declarations and donations

As donors make declarations, Uplift saves each one and matches it to their donations. You can see them in Uplift in your site's dashboard.

4. Make your first claim

On the Standard plan, Uplift prepares HMRC's Gift Aid schedule spreadsheet (.ods). You attach it to your claim in Charities Online. Uplift never contacts HMRC: you submit the claim yourself.
