Tax efficient giving
If you are based in the United Kingdom or United States, you may be eligible to claim back tax on your donation. See below for further information.
By declaring your eligibility for gift aid, you increase the value of your donation by 25%. You can do so by completing our declaration form and emailing it to us at enquiries@gresham.ac.uk. You are eligible for gift aid if you pay enough UK income tax or capital gains tax to cover the amount to be reclaimed on all your charitable donations in the appropriate tax year.
If you pay the higher rate of income tax, then you can also claim back the difference between the higher rate of tax (40%) and the basic rate of tax (20%) on the gross value of your donation. If you earn over £150,000 per year, you can claim the difference between the additional rate of tax (45%) and the basic rate of tax (20%) on the gross value of your donation.
