Sound familiar?
Your donor CRM, events, and Gift Aid live in separate tools
Donorfy for donors. Eventbrite for the gala. Mailchimp for the newsletter. Xero for accounts. A regular donor who attended last week's event isn't on the email segment for this week's appeal. Everything syncs manually or not at all.
The Trustees' Annual Report is a reconstruction project
Every year the trustees ask for income by source, programme spend, and donor breakdown. Your treasurer rebuilds it from Xero plus three spreadsheets. It takes a week and still doesn't quite match last year's numbers.
Gift Aid claims are leaving money at HMRC
You know there's Gift Aid available on eligible donations. But chasing declarations, tagging eligible amounts, and exporting in HMRC's format is enough friction that claims slip. Every missed £1 claim is 25p your charity didn't collect.
How TidyHQ fixes it.
Donor records with lifetime giving history
Every donor has one record covering giving history, contact preferences, consent status, and Gift Aid declaration. Segment for targeted appeals without exporting from four tools. Members, donors, event attendees, and volunteers in one database.
Gift Aid claims in HMRC-ready format
Declarations captured at donation. Eligible amounts tagged automatically. Claim exports in the format HMRC accepts for regular Gift Aid and GASDS (Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme). Most charities recover hours per claim.
Charity Commission Annual Return data ready
Income by source, expenditure by category, trustee changes, and beneficiary impact numbers tracked in real time. Your Trustees' Annual Report and Charity Commission Annual Return pull from clean data instead of a spreadsheet rebuild.
Trustee governance tools
Board meeting agendas, minutes with trustee action items, declarations of interest, and 25 GB document storage for policies, safeguarding, and constitutional documents. Survives trustee transitions.
Questions people ask.
Is TidyHQ a good fit for small UK charities?+
Yes. TidyHQ is built for small charities (typically under £1m income) registered with the Charity Commission, OSCR (Scotland), or CCNI (Northern Ireland). Donor records, Gift Aid, events, and trustee governance in one platform. Charities under 20 contacts run free.
Does TidyHQ handle UK Gift Aid claims?+
Yes. Donor declarations are captured during online registration or donation. Eligible donations are tagged automatically. At claim time, TidyHQ exports data in the format HMRC accepts for regular Gift Aid and the Gift Aid Small Donations Scheme (GASDS). Your claim preparation drops from reconstruction to an export.
Can TidyHQ produce data for our Trustees' Annual Report and Charity Commission Annual Return?+
Yes. Income by source, expenditure by programme, trustee roles, and beneficiary data are tracked in real time. Export reports that feed directly into your Annual Report and Charity Commission Annual Return. No rebuilding from Xero plus spreadsheets.
Does TidyHQ work for charities registered with OSCR (Scotland) or CCNI (Northern Ireland)?+
Yes. TidyHQ's financial tracking and governance tools work for charities under OSCR (Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator) and CCNI (Charity Commission for Northern Ireland). Income categorization and trustee governance features are regulator-agnostic — the annual return format differs but the underlying data is the same.
Can TidyHQ replace Donorfy, Eventbrite, and Mailchimp?+
For most small charities, yes. TidyHQ consolidates donor CRM, events, email, and basic accounting. Larger charities with complex fundraising operations may keep Donorfy and use TidyHQ for events, memberships, and dues — with Xero sync for accounts. Charities with deep major-donor cultivation workflows typically keep a dedicated CRM.
What does TidyHQ cost for a UK charity?+
Free for charities under 20 contacts, including full features. Pro is £37/month (billed annually) for larger charities, with a 1% + 10p GBP service fee on transactions plus payment processor fees. Registered charities can ask about additional nonprofit pricing.
