Financial stewardship

Online Gift Aid (gift aid direct)

The Church in Wales has introduced a new system for online Gift Aid donations as of March 2020.

There are four forms that enable you to:

• set up a new commitment to your nominated parish
• amend an existing commitment
• add a new commitment from an existing, active donor
• cancel a commitment.
