About Alma

Helping charities claim every penny they're owed

Alma is a Gift Aid platform built specifically for UK charities. We make it simple to capture declarations, manage donors, and reclaim 25% from HMRC.

Our mission

UK charities miss out on an estimated £560 million in Gift Aid every year - simply because the process of collecting declarations is too slow, too manual, or too confusing.

Alma exists to change that. We've built a platform that replaces paper forms with a 30-second digital kiosk, gives charities a powerful Donation Hub to manage their donors, and exports everything in the exact format HMRC needs.

Whether you're a small community group or a large national charity, Alma helps you maximise your Gift Aid - effortlessly.

What we believe

Our values shape every feature we build and every decision we make.

Simplicity first

Gift Aid shouldn't be complicated. We strip away the complexity so charities can focus on what matters - their mission.

Trust & compliance

Charities handle sensitive donor data. We build with GDPR, HMRC, and data protection requirements at the core - not as an afterthought.

Built for charities

Every feature is designed for the charity sector. We understand the unique challenges of Gift Aid, GASDS, and donor management.

Reliability

From offline mode to automatic backups, Alma is built to work when you need it - even without an internet connection.

Our story

💡

The problem

Charities were losing thousands in unclaimed Gift Aid - buried under paper forms, manual spreadsheets, and outdated processes.

🛠️

The solution

We built Alma - a simple kiosk for capturing Gift Aid declarations and a Donation Hub for managing donors, exports, and HMRC submissions.

Where we are

Card payments via Stripe Connect, an AI assistant (Alma), online giving pages, annual donor statements, email previews, offline kiosk mode, and tiered plans - all live and serving charities.

🚀

What's next

Direct HMRC XML submissions via Charities Online, multi-kiosk support for larger venues, and per-tenant email domains - making Gift Aid effortless at every scale.
