Tax-efficient options
UK Gift Aid scheme
Gift Aid is a UK government scheme that enables charities, including universities, to claim tax relief on donations from individual UK taxpayers. We would encourage all eligible donors to take up this scheme to maximise their donation. For every £1 a UK taxpayer donates, 25p in reclaimed tax is added. This means that a £100 gift with Gift Aid is worth £125 to Green Templeton.
Additionally, higher rate tax payers can claim back the difference between basic rate tax and the higher rate of 40% or 45% on the gross value of their gift through Self Assessment. A gift of £100 (£125 including Gift Aid) would therefore be eligible for a rebate of £25 for a 40% taxpayer and £31.25 for a 45% taxpayer.
Please note that we will share relevant and necessary data with HM Revenue and Customs to enable us to reclaim the Gift Aid on your donation.
United States
If you are based in the United States, donations can be made via Americans for Oxford, Inc. (AFO), a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organisation (recognised by the Internal Revenue Service).
Donate online via Americans for Oxford or donate offline with this giving form. In either case you just need to specify that you would like your donation to go to Green Templeton College

‘The future is not a destination but a responsibility.’
Earlier this month, the Principal’s Circle hosted Massimiano Tellini from @intesasanpaolo in conversation with DPhil candidate Stephanie Walton on the theme ‘rethinking the global economy’.
From circular economy systems designed to eliminate waste and regenerate nature, to challenging the market logics behind food systems and stranded assets, the message was clear: incremental change is not enough.
A small group of students joined the speakers for dinner later that evening, continuing the conversation in an informal setting and asking big questions about resilience, responsibility and leadership.
Green Templeton’s partnership with Intesa Sanpaolo has supported women from around the world to pursue the Oxford MBA since 2017, combining access with responsible leadership.
What does a truly sustainable economy look like to you?
We are delighted to see the careful relocation of the John Radcliffe statue successfully completed in partnership with Kingerlee and Hadingham Kirk.
At 04:00 on Saturday 14 February the statue was moved to its new location. The early morning move was a complex and meticulously planned operation, enabling work to progress on the south side of the Radcliffe Observatory with minimal disruption.
We are grateful to the teams involved for their expertise and precision in handling such an important piece of the college’s heritage.
This project will introduce new access ramps and a thoughtfully redesigned landscape, creating a more welcoming and accessible setting that reflects the landscape opposite the Schwarzman Centre for the Humanities.
We look forward to seeing this next phase take shape and to sharing further updates.
Wishing all a very Happy Lunar New Year.
