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.
Millions in Gift Aid go unclaimed every year — and it's not hard to see why
A process built for specialists
Declarations, spreadsheets, HMRC schemas, Government Gateway. It’s a lot to ask of a volunteer with an evening a week.
Fixed costs don’t scale down
Existing tools start at £30–40/month. For a charity raising £2,000/year, that wipes out the Gift Aid benefit.
Built for big charities
Most platforms assume dedicated admin staff, technical confidence, and time that volunteer trustees don’t have.
TrusteeKit is different
No fixed costs. Pay only when donations come in. Designed for a trustee fitting this in around a day job.
Everything you need, nothing you don't
Core functionality for small charities. No complex multi-user permissions, no mandatory training, no vendor lock-in.
Gift Aid Automation
Collect declarations, match them to donations, and send your Gift Aid claim straight to HMRC — automatically. No spreadsheets, no re-keying, nothing manual.
Payment processing
Donations collected bank-to-bank, one-off or regular — lower fees than cards, and regular gifts don’t stop when a card expires.

Automatically processed when a Gift Aid donation comes in — no invoices to track.
I built TrusteeKit because too many small charities leave Gift Aid on the table — not because they don't qualify, but because the process assumes resources they don't have.
Built by a trustee, for trustees
Huge amounts of Gift Aid go unclaimed by small UK charities every year. The paperwork is confusing, existing services charge monthly fees, and HMRC's own tools aren't designed for volunteer trustees fitting admin around a day job.
TrusteeKit exists to close that gap. Zero fixed costs — you only pay when donations come in. Everything from declarations to HMRC submissions in one place.
It's also significantly cheaper than the alternatives. But the point isn't being cheap — it's making Gift Aid accessible to charities that would otherwise never claim it.
