Gift Aids can be collected from varying sources, websites, postal forms, email, and other donation platforms such as JustGiving, Enthuse, Go Donate, etc. 

Methods are used when adding a new Gift Aid Declaration to a Constituent Timeline in order to record where the Declaration came from. A method will also determine if a confirmation is required, for example in the instance of a Verbal Gift Aid. 

To add a Gift Aid Declaration Method

• Open Settings > Configuration > Gift Aid Declaration Methods

• Click on the + icon to the right of the screen
• Enter the description for the Gift Aid Declaration being added
• Ensure it is set to Active
• If the Declaration requires a Confirmation set to Yes - e.g in the instance of a Verbal Declaration
• Click on Save Changes

Once saved, the Declaration method will be available to use when adding a New Gift Aid Declaration to a Constituent's Timeline. See here for more details: Adding a Gift Aid Declaration
