Commiting to Queens'

You can give to Queens' in a number of ways:

A Single Gift
If you wish to make a single donation, please complete the Gift Aid Declaration and the Single Gift details on the Donation Form.

A Regular Gift
We welcome regular gifts by monthly, quarterly or annual standing order. This provides a predictable income, which helps Queens' to plan. If you wish to give this way, please complete the Gift Aid Declaration and the Regular Gift details.

Higher Rate Taxpayers - the effect of the 2009 UK budget
In the 2009 budget, the Chancellor announced plans to increase the income tax payable by those earning over £150,000 per annum to 50%, with no relief, from April 2010.

This has a marked effect on the impact that Gift Aid can have on donations from donors in this tax category. For some time now, it has been possible for higher rate taxpayers to make a further donation of their tax rebate via their Self Assessment Forms. Under these circumstances a gift of £100 can be worth over £175 to the College.

A Gift of Shares
There are benefits in share giving for both you, the donor, and for Queens'. If you would like to give listed or other shares to Queens', perhaps as part of your tax planning arrangements, please contact the Development Director.

Giving through your Self Assessment Tax Return
If you complete a Self Assessment Tax Return you are able to nominate Queens' as the charity to receive, as a donation, all or part of any repayment due to you. The Queens' reference number in this scheme is ZAA38TG and full details can be found on the Inland Revenue website.

Give as You Earn - Charities Aid Foundation
If your company offers 'connectandgive' from the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) you can now give directly to Queens' through the Give As You Earn Scheme. Simply access the 'connectandgive' tool on your company intranet and choose Queens' College Cambridge to make your donation.

Gifts in Kind
You may prefer to give a gift in kind to Queens' College. Such gifts are most gratefully received and we will be very happy to discuss your wishes with you, keeping in mind that you can claim relief against Income Tax for certain gifts of land and buildings.

A Legacy to Queens'
