Where will the funds go?

Your gift goes directly to us - and you can find out more on our homepage. This fuels essential areas, including enriching the student experience, improving the sustainability of our buildings, and supporting the day-to-day running of the College. Wherever you choose to give, it’s your participation that matters most.

Is my payment secure?

Why is my payment not going through?

Please check that you have included your postcode in both the address field and the card details field of the gift form. If there is still a problem, you may need to contact your card provider and inform them that the payment is valid.

Can I claim Gift Aid on this donation?

Yes! If you are a UK taxpayer and have paid as much Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax as the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all of your donations in that tax year, Wolfson can reclaim the basic tax rate (25%) on your gift, with no extra cost to you.

Can I donate tax-effectively?

Gifts from the USA

Tax-deductible contributions can be made via Cambridge in America, which is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organisation. If you make your gift via Wolfson’s Giving Day platform and select 'Donate in USD', you will be directed to our US donation form.

Gifts from Canadian taxpayers

The University of Cambridge is recognised by the Canadian Revenue Agency as a prescribed institution under Section 3503 of the Canadian Income Tax Regulations. Please make your gift through this website, and then email development@wolfson.cam.ac.uk if you would like to request a receipt for Canadian tax purposes.

Gifts from European taxpayers

If you are a European resident, you may be able to maximise your gift through Transnational Giving Europe (TGE). You can make a tax-effective gift in support of our Giving Day if you are giving from these countries:

• Belgium
• France
• Germany
• Greece
• Spain
• Switzerland

For any other countries, please email us at: development@wolfson.cam.ac.uk.

How does matched giving work?

A group of alumni and supporters of the College have come together to provide a pot of matching funds to encourage more members to join them in giving back to Wolfson. While available, these funds will double your Giving Day donation through a £ for £ match. By giving, you will also contribute to challenges to unlock additional matched funding. Together, we can achieve more for Wolfson!

I still have questions. How can I get in touch?

Feel free to email us at development@wolfson.cam.ac.uk or call +44 01223 335929.
