and interested in supporting the College
How To Give
Donations to the College are extremely welcome: all gifts, of whatever size, make a great difference to us. It is possible to specify how you would like a gift to be used and the Development Director is very happy to discuss possibilities and details.
The College is a Registered Charity (Charity Reference No: 1137456). It is simple to donate online, by downloading a donation form or by BACS.
If you would prefer to donate by standing order, please contact the Development Office.
Tax (UK tax-payers)
Gift Aid
Donations by Gift Aid can be of any value and made over any period of time. Gift Aid donations from all UK tax payers are particularly helpful to Emmanuel, as the College can reclaim the basic tax rate, 22%, already paid by the donor on the gift. Giving in this way is advantageous to higher rate UK tax payers, who can reclaim the difference between the higher and basic rates of tax (i.e., 18%) already paid on the gift. To do this, donors have to write to their tax office or enter details on their tax return. More information about Gift Aid is available.
A Gift Aid declaration (PDF) is available; if donating online, please click on the appropriate box to the right.
Tax-efficient giving from a company
Donations to the College offer tax benefits to companies when computing Corporation Tax liability. No forms are now necessary for companies to make tax-efficient donations to the College; the Development Office can advise.
Other ways of giving
- It is possible to support Emmanuel through Payroll giving. Please see http://www.payrollgiving.co.uk/ for more information.
- Gifts of properties and works of art: these are exempt from Capital Gains and Inheritance Tax.
Spotlights
Jake – Herchel Smith Scholarship to Harvard
A generous benefaction from the late Dr Herchel Smith enables us to send a few recent graduates to Harvard for a year, to spend a year as Special Students. In addition, around five current undergraduates take part in the summer Program for Research in Science and Engineering. Those who go on either of these schemes have very rewarding and worthwhile times, as Jake Nunley, one of 2016–17’s Herchel Smith scholars, describes.
Queen's Building
The award-winning Queen’s Building contains an 150-seat theatre, the MCR, reception and seminar rooms, and music practice facilities.
Research Student: Sandy McCleery (2013) – India, Sri Lanka & Transnational Politics
Having completed my undergraduate degree in geography at Emmanuel in 2016, I am extraordinarily grateful to have been awarded a full postgraduate studentship, through the College’s research studentship fund and the incredible generosity of two Emma members. This has enabled me to follow up a long-standing interest in the Indian sub-continent through an MPhil in Modern South Asian Studies.
