Why your contribution really matters
Here are some examples to illustrate how your gift to the Annual Fund could benefit students at Merton:
£10 per month for a year would help offset the average cost of an undergraduate hardship award
£20: 40 donors each giving £20 a month for four years would fund the College contribution to the cost of a Fellowship for one year
£65 per year would pay for a student book grant or buy library books
£150 would subsidise a student play or buy new sports equipment
£500 to £750 would pay for a typical student travel grant
£1000 from 30 donors would give start-up funds to a research project
£5000 from 3 donors would help an undergraduate to stay as a graduate
All donations regardless of size or frequency are very welcome.
Did you know...
- as a basic-rate UK taxpayer, your net gift of £100 enables the College to reclaim £25.00?
- as a higher-rate UK tax payer, you can reclaim additional tax from the Inland Revenue – your gift of £250 with Gift Aid is worth £320.50 to the College and you can reclaim tax of £57.69, so that your gift of £250 costs you £192.31.
If you are not a UK tax payer, please visit our Making a Gift page for help with donating from other countries.
