Most charities know about standard Gift Aid, but many overlook the Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme (GASDS), which allows you to claim on cash or contactless donations without donor declarations. Yes, really!
- What is GASDS?
A scheme that allows charities to claim Gift Aid on small donations (under £30), up to £8,000 per year—no paperwork needed from donors. - Who is eligible?
If your charity is already registered for Gift Aid and has a good compliance record, you likely qualify. - What kind of donations apply?
Cash, contactless card donations, and bucket collections at events or services. - How much can you claim?
Up to £2,000 a year in free Gift Aid money—just by recording collections properly. - How ABBFEM Can Help
We guide charities in setting up processes, recording donations correctly, and submitting GASDS claims with HMRC.
Don’t leave free money on the table. If your church or charity receives regular offerings, collections, or donations at events, you should be claiming under GASDS.
