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
Canada
Visit the Green Templeton donation page on the central University website, choose your preferred fund, and select the option to receive a Canadian Tax Receipt.
Switzerland
Donate via Swiss Friends of Oxford University.
Other European countries
The Transnational Giving Europe organisation has information on how to donate via national partners based in Belgium, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia.
For more information or if you have any questions please contact Andrew Sanders, Head of Operations, at andrew.sanders@gtc.ox.ac.uk or on +44 1865 274777.
