Charities are missing out on Gift Aid income

Discover how the Donation Station Pro can help bridge the gap

In recent years, there has been a growing gap between the number of potential Gift Aid claims and the actual funding received from the scheme. Estimated to be around £560 million, the Gift Aid gap is a growing problem, but represents a fantastic opportunity for charities to gain additional funding.

A recent report from CFG shows 5 major barriers to collecting Gift Aid:
⚠️ Lack of awareness around Gift Aid
⚠️ Overly complex processes
⚠️ Lack of charity resources
⚠️ Missed opportunities
⚠️ Multiple funding streams to manage

Earlier this year, Peterborough Cathedral launched their 'Cathedral in Crisis' appeal, to address growing concerns around the cost of keeping a large heritage site open and available.

Since then, they have reached their goal of £300,000 while also starting the necessary conversation around a Cathedrals place in todays society.

We have supported many Cathedrals, including Peterborough, with our contactless donation devices over the years, so we were keen to understand how these prominent buildings are tackling financial hardship and where our devices fit in.

Many non-profit organisations across the UK are facing similar challenges, with a growing need for increased footfall and public support. Looking at Cathedrals as an example, we breakdown some of the considerations for a successful and dynamic funding strategy.
