Donation toolsbuilt by charity trustees
Gift Aid automation and donation processing for small UK charities. Simple, affordable tools from someone who actually runs a charity.
Small charities deserve better than overpriced, bloated software
Expensive platforms
Most charity CRMs cost £360–£840/year before you process a single donation.
Feature bloat
287 features sounds impressive until you need only 12 of them.
Hidden fees
Platform fees, processing fees, monthly minimums. The real cost is always higher.
TrusteeKit is different

I built TrusteeKit because small charities needed simple, affordable fundraising tools — and nothing else did the job properly.
Built by a trustee, for trustees
TrusteeKit was created out of frustration with the existing charity software market. As a charity trustee myself, I was tired of paying hundreds of pounds per year for bloated platforms that didn't address our actual operational needs.
Small UK charities need three things: automated Gift Aid claims, reliable donation processing, and basic CRM functionality. Everything else is noise.
So I built TrusteeKit — a platform that focuses exclusively on these essentials. No feature bloat. No complex pricing tiers. Just straightforward tools that work.
