Whether you submit 1 or 500,000 donations at a time, the import procedure couldn’t be more straightforward.

Entering manually with GiftAider™ for Smaller Charities or using our standard edition’s import wizard with CSV, or XLS files directly from your CRM’s exports will be a doddle.

Friends of Cathedral Music has successfully used GiftAider for the last five years.

We’ve had occasional queries on the software and HMRC’s systems. SMXi seem to maintain excellent working relationships with HMRC and aided by this, any issue we’ve raised has always been resolved promptly – usually within a day.

The software is regularly updated, both to keep up with changes in gift aid procedures and improve user convenience, and we’re very satisfied users.

We have used Gift Aider to submit electronically our gift aid claims for a number of years. The software is very flexible and very efficient in uploading high volume transactions from both our epos and online systems that we use to capture the gift aid details.

The technical support have been very helpful and supportive in the install and configuration of the software. We would have no hesitation in recommending Gift Aider.
