OPAS:Contactless Giving/Preparing For A Gift Aid Claim

The donations ticked for Gift Aid need to be allocated to the Parish GAD prior to running the claim.

The parish Gift Aid Organiser will run the Year End Declaration as usual, but will identify the Contactless claim by highlighting it, as this is the only total to be included at this point.

At diocesan admin level the claim will be processed as normal but using a slightly different route, i.e. tick in ‘Summary’ the parishes to be included in the claim, then proceed to Claim Gift Aid but click on view sponsorship claims (See appendix 2). Because the Contactless Parish GADs have been set up for sponsorship these are the only totals that will be included in the claim.

After the claim has been successfully run, the contactless donations will be removed from the rest of the parish claim which can then be reprinted and claimed as normal.
