We have designed Donations Co-ordinator to manage all donations in accordance with the HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) regulations, which became effective on 6th April 2000 and were updated in 2007. Since May 2000 thousands of churches and charities have claimed their gift aid using programs written by Data Developments.

Using Donations Co-ordinator you can mark donations given for different purposes or funds; accept one-off gifts, regular gifts and standing orders. There is no limit on the number of donors or donations you can store.

You can make multiple claims each year, if required, with a few simple key clicks. Your claims can be based on finance year or tax year depending on whether you are treated as a company or charitable trust for tax purposes.

Donations can be entered directly into Donations Co-ordinator or imported from a variety of file formats, for example Excel. A full audit trail is maintained as required by the HMRC of course. Donations Co-ordinator also generates the necessary R68 (Gift Aid) form and the R68 (Claim) - both designs have been approved by the HMRC.

You can make claims for your one-off gifts separately or each purpose separately. For example you can run a fund raising campaign for a particular cause and then make a claim on just the donations given to that cause.

You can generate annual statements, thank-you letters, claim summaries, labels and many different reports are easily available within Donations Co-ordinator.

All reports can be exported in a variety of different formats including PDF and HTML. This enables you to attach the reports to emails - which you can also send from Donations Co-ordinator.

If you are upgrading from Gift then the information can be transferred automically.
