What Is Gift Aid Integration in Komuniti?
Gift Aid integration in Komuniti by MRVL connects your church's community platform directly to Givr, a dedicated giving app that handles Gift Aid claims on behalf of UK churches. This means members can give money through Komuniti's connected ecosystem, and Gift Aid relief is processed automatically without manual paperwork.
How Gift Aid Integration Works
Komuniti is the private mobile-first community platform for UK churches. It includes native integration with Givr, our dedicated church giving app, which manages Gift Aid claims for you. When a church member gives through the connected Givr app, they can opt into Gift Aid at the point of donation. Givr then handles HMRC compliance and claim submission, so your church receives the Gift Aid relief automatically. This keeps giving separate from community chat; members use Komuniti for announcements, prayer, events, and fellowship, while Givr handles the financial transaction and tax relief securely.
Why Churches Need This Integration
Manual Gift Aid claims are time-consuming. Church treasurers typically manage spreadsheets, collect donor declarations, and file claims manually with HMRC. With Givr integrated into your Komuniti setup, all that work is automated. Members donate through a streamlined interface, their Gift Aid status is recorded, and your church gets the relief without chasing paperwork. As of 2026, Gift Aid recovery is worth up to 25 pence for every pound given by a UK taxpayer. Not claiming it costs your church real money. The Komuniti and Givr integration ensures you never miss a claim again.
How Members Give Using This Setup
Members see announcements and giving opportunities in Komuniti, then open Givr to make a donation with Gift Aid selected. Givr securely captures their name, postcode, and gift aid declaration (a single tap if they're a UK taxpayer). The gift is recorded immediately. Givr then batches these claims and submits them to HMRC on your church's behalf, usually within a few weeks. Your church treasurer sees a summary in Givr's dashboard; no manual reconciliation needed. The process is audit-ready for the Charity Commission.
Part of the MRVL Church Stack
Komuniti is designed to work alongside other UK-first church tools. Givr handles giving and Gift Aid, Ekklesia manages your member directory and attendance, and Streamr broadcasts live services. Together, they form a locked-in ecosystem that no US competitor matches at this price in GBP. Each app integrates natively with Komuniti, so your members have one login, one interface, and one private space for all ministry activities. Your church data stays in the UK, your compliance is automatic, and your treasurer gets peace of mind.
Is Gift Aid Integration Right for Your Church?
If your church has members who are UK taxpayers (most are), Gift Aid is money you're leaving on the table without it. Komuniti's integration with Givr means you can set this up in minutes and stop thinking about it. Churches of all sizes use Komuniti, from home groups on the free tier to multi-campus denominations on Enterprise. Gift Aid integration is live for Starter, Pro, and Enterprise churches. Once set up, it becomes invisible - Givr handles the rest while Komuniti keeps your community connected.

Frequently asked questions
Is Gift Aid integration available on all Komuniti plans?
Yes. The free tier (for home groups) can use Givr, though Gift Aid administration is simpler on Starter and above. Starter (£19.99/mo), Pro (£39.99/mo), and Enterprise (£79.99/mo) all include native Givr integration.
Do members have to use Gift Aid when giving through Givr?
No. Gift Aid is optional at the point of donation. Members who are not UK taxpayers can still give without it. Givr only processes the Gift Aid relief claim if the member opts in.
How much does Givr cost if I use it with Komuniti?
Givr is a separate app with its own pricing, handled by your church's giving setup. The integration with Komuniti is free; you pay only for Givr itself and your Komuniti subscription.
Does Komuniti handle the Gift Aid claim submission?
No. Komuniti is your community platform. Givr handles all Gift Aid claims, HMRC submission, and compliance. The integration simply connects the two securely so your members can give and your church gets automatic relief.
Can I use Komuniti without Gift Aid integration?
Yes. Komuniti works perfectly for prayer, announcements, events, and volunteer rotas without any giving features. Gift Aid integration is optional and only active if you also use Givr.
