iCHARMS Gift Aid — Select eligible donations to claim.

What's included

The whole Gift Aid workflow. One licence.

Capture, validation, generation, submission, response tracking and audit — not six tools stitched together.

Declarations

Capture declarations at any touchpoint — online, on paper, on the phone. Each is stored against the donor with date and source.

Lapse detection

Lapsed and expired declarations are flagged automatically, so you never claim Gift Aid on an ineligible donation.

Claim generation

Bulk claim generation with HMRC-compliant schedules, plus overclaim checks and corrections before submission.

HMRC submission

Direct submission to HMRC Charities Online — no portal exports, no spreadsheets, no third-party intermediaries.

GASDS support

Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme claims for cash and contactless under threshold, with community-building eligibility per site.

Audit trail

Every submission, response and adjustment logged — trustee, finance and HMRC reporting in seconds.

The single-click difference

A fortnight of spreadsheets, done in an afternoon.

For most charities, Gift Aid season is a hidden full-time job. iCHARMS turns the four steps into one connected workflow.

Capture declarations

Stored against the donor with date, source and audit trail.

Eligibility checks flag lapsed or invalid declarations.

step · 03

One workflow generates and sends the Charities Online claim.

step · 04

Track & reconcile

Match HMRC payments to claims and chase any shortfall.

Why charities trust us with it

The badge that takes years to earn.

Gift Aid is money HMRC owes your charity. Trust the workflow that recovers it to a supplier the government has already vetted.

HMRC-listed Gift Aid software

HMRC

Officially HMRC-listed

iCHARMS appears on the gov.uk Charities Online commercial software suppliers list — independent, third-party verification that takes years to earn and is rare among CRM vendors.

10+ yrs

A decade of compliance

We have been building, maintaining and supporting Gift Aid software for UK charities since 2013 — through every HMRC schema change along the way.

Owned

Owned, not licensed

iCHARMS is our own product. No third-party Gift Aid plug-ins, no brittle integrations to break the week your claim is due.

How it compares

Four routes to Gift Aid. One built for it.

Most charities reach Gift Aid through a tool built for something else. iCHARMS was built for the claim itself.

A comparison of typical approaches, not specific products — capabilities vary by configuration and add-ons. "Varies" means it depends on the plan or plug-ins you choose.

FAQ

Gift Aid questions.

Is iCHARMS recognised by HMRC for Charities Online submissions?

Yes. iCHARMS is listed on gov.uk as a Charities Online software supplier. Claims are submitted directly to HMRC — no third-party intermediaries or portal exports.

Does iCHARMS support GASDS (Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme)?

Yes. GASDS claims are generated alongside standard Gift Aid claims, with community-building eligibility tracked per donation site.

Can mosques and Islamic charities claim Gift Aid through iCHARMS?

Yes. iCHARMS is built for mosques and Islamic charities claiming Gift Aid on cash, card and Direct Debit donations, plus GASDS on small cash donations under the threshold.

How are Gift Aid declarations stored and verified?

Every declaration is stored against the donor record with a date, source and audit trail. Lapsed and expired declarations are flagged so you never claim on ineligible donations.

Can we claim Gift Aid on historical donations?

Yes. During onboarding we import historical donations and declarations, and HMRC allows claims on eligible donations going back up to four years — we help you recover what was missed.

How is the Gift Aid software priced?

An annual per-organisation licence, with an optional managed-service retainer where our team runs your claims for you. We publish the model — not figures — and quote against your scope.
