Payroll giving and matching gifts

Payroll giving is an easy and convenient way to make regular contributions to the Foundation. Your donations will be deducted from your pay before tax is calculated and will be recorded on your pay-slip. Please contact your employer to find out if it participates in this scheme.

An increasing number of companies operate gift-matching schemes – when an employee makes a gift, the company makes an equal one to the charity. To find out if your company operates such a scheme, and to obtain a copy of their matching gift form, please contact your employer.

Gifts of stocks / shares or land

If you feel that this highly tax efficient method of supporting the University of Buckingham Foundation might be advantageous to you and the University, please contact the Development Office for advice on the procedure.

Legacies

We have produced a booklet entitled, Remember Buckingham in your Will, which explains how a gift in your Will could support the University in the future. If you wish to leave a legacy to the Foundation in your will, we would recommend that you discuss it with your legal advisers before contacting the University of Buckingham Development Office.

Gift Aid (UK)

If you are a UK taxpayer, any single gift is best made by using the Gift Aid method. By informing us that you wish to use this method the Foundation is able to claim back the basic rate of tax you have already paid on your money. If you wish to donate to the Foundation using this method, please print and return the Gift Aid declaration and send it to the University of Buckingham Development Office.

This form is available as a PDF document which may be printed out and sent through the post to the Development Office.
