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

New Library
When the new Library opened in 2012, the number of reader spaces increased from 60 to 138. The building is very popular and well used, and has grown considerably in size.
Research Student: Helen Charman (2011) – Poets and Parents
Helen completed her undergraduate degree in English at Emmanuel in 2014. She was very grateful to be awarded a full studentship, through the generosity of the Late 80s fund and another Member, enabling her to study for an MPhil in Modern and Contemporary Literature.
