Giving via cheque

If you would prefer to send a cheque, please download our gift form, and post it with your cheque to the Alumni and Development Office.

Gift Aid

If you are a UK taxpayer, we may be able to reclaim tax on your gift and increase its value to the College by 25%. This will also enable you to claim tax relief in your Self-Assessment tax return if you are a higher-rate taxpayer - please see the UK government's website for full, up-to-date details.

You can ask us to claim Gift Aid at any time by downloading the Gift Aid declaration, completing the form and returning it to the Alumni and Development Office. We are also able to take Gift Aid declarations over the phone if you would prefer.

Gift matching

Many companies now operate gift-matching schemes. When an employee makes a gift to a registered charity, the company may match it in full or in part. To find out if your company operates such a scheme and to obtain a copy of their gift-matching form, please contact your Human Resources or Personnel department.

Payroll giving

Under the Payroll Giving Scheme, employees can authorize their employer to deduct charitable donations from their pay before calculating Pay As You Earn tax. This means that the employee automatically gets tax relief on donations at his or her top rate of tax. There is no limit on the amount that can be given under the scheme.

To find out more about Payroll Giving and if your company operates the scheme, please contact your Human Resources or Personnel department.

Gifts of listed shares and securities

St Catharine’s welcomes gifts of listed shares and securities. Gifts of listed shares and securities by UK taxpayers attract full relief from Capital Gains Tax and, in addition, allow the donor to claim Income Tax relief on the full value of the shares or securities at the time they are transferred to the College resulting in a double tax saving. For further information on the benefits of donating shares, please contact the Alumni and Development Office.

Giving by BACS

You can make a gift to St Catharine's by bank transfer. Please use the first letter of your first name followed by your surname as the reference when making a payment. It is also helpful if you email alumni.office@caths.cam.ac.uk to let us know you are making a payment so that we can confirm receipt as soon as possible. You can view our bank details here.
