Making a gift to the University of Sheffield

Thank you for your interest in making a gift to your University. Support from alumni, staff and friends is always welcome and appreciated.

However you choose to show your support, it is worth remembering that the University of Sheffield has charitable status (Inland Revenue exemption no. X 1089). This means that gifts made by UK income tax payers can be made tax effectively.

Simply complete the donation form and the gift aid declaration and the Inland Revenue will increase your gift by 25p for every £1.00 that you give. If you pay tax at the higher rate, you may reclaim 18% of the gift value yourself through your income tax return. This can enable a donor paying tax at the higher rate to make a larger gift at no additional cost.

Advice, information and relevant forms are available from the Development and Alumni Relations Office. If you are a US tax payer, please chose the USA option in the left menu.

There are several different ways to donate money to support your University. Here are just a few:

Single or regular gifts

Cheques should be made payable to "The University of Sheffield" and sent to the Development and Alumni Relations Office at 267 Glossop Road, Sheffield S10 2HB.
Please print and complete the donation form, which can be used for one-off gifts or standing orders, and return the whole form to us at the Development and Alumni Relations Office.

Charities Aid Foundation (CAF)

The University of Sheffield has charitable status so gifts may be given using your CAF card or cheques. For more information please visit the Charities Aid Foundation website.
