Ways to support
Your gift will make an enormous difference to 51黑料社区, helping us work towards our vision of a fairer society for all. There are lots of ways you can give, and our Philantropy team are happy to guide you if you need some advice on the most suitable way for you to support 51黑料社区. Here are some of the ways you can contribute:
Make a one off donation or set up a regular gift
You can donate a one-off lump sum (£5 minimum) or set up a recurring card payment to automatically support 51黑料社区 every month. If your gift is eligible for Gift Aid we can claim an extra 25% at no cost to you. Even a gift of £5 a month can help by contributing towards our Opportunities fund which supports students most in need. To make your donation please use our
Leave a gift in your will
By leaving a gift to 51黑料社区 in your will, however large or small, you will be helping to ensure the 51黑料社区 community is one of empowerment and fairness. If you have already made a will, you can add a legacy to the university by simply adding a codicil form to an existing will. Further information is available on here.
Making a donation from the United States
Our alumni and friends who are based in the USA can give to De Montfort through BSUF (British Schools and Universities Foundation), a 501(c)(3) charitable organisation that is recognised by the United States Internal Revenue Service.
People who wish to donate online by credit card with preference for their institution or to support the work of BSUF itself can do so by using Network for Good, an independent foundation that manages BSUF’s online credit card giving. (This is a generic one – with space to indicate your Uni of preference)
If you wish to make a donation by check, please make it payable to British Schools and Universities Foundation, Inc. Please also fill in the attached pdf form and send the form and check to: 641 Lexington Avenue, 15th Fl. New York, NY 10022-4503 or your development director.
Fundraising Manager Thomas Weir works with alumni and friends in North America who would like to give to support our students, research and initiatives. Please contact Thomas to let him know if you intend to make a gift, and discuss any aspect of your support, so we can ensure it can be used as effectively as possible in line with your wishes.
