Northwestern University (USA) Foundation Limited

Northwestern University (USA) Foundation Limited is an officially registered charity in the United Kingdom. The foundation offers increased tax benefits for our generous alumni and friends throughout the UK for gifts supporting the benefit of education at the University.

Gifts to the foundation are eligible for both UK and US tax reliefs—a deduction in the United States and Gift Aid in the UK. Gift Aid is a UK tax relief scheme that enables charities like the foundation to reclaim the basic rate of tax on your gift, thus increasing your gift by 25 percent, and allows donors who are higher-rate tax payers to claim additional relief on their UK tax return.

Gift Aid

Gift Aid is a UK tax incentive that enables Northwestern University (USA) Foundation Limited to reclaim the basic rate of tax on your gift at no extra cost to you.

Gift Aid gives you an extra 25p for every £1 you give—increasing the value of your gift by 25 percent. This means that a £100 gift with Gift Aid is worth £125 to Northwestern.

  • Am I eligible for Gift Aid?

    To qualify for Gift Aid, you must have paid UK Income or Capital Gains Tax equivalent to the amount of Gift Aid on all your donations that tax year. Gifts can be made by check or wire transfer.

    Gifts of stock are not eligible for Gift Aid—nor are gifts received from companies, foundations, or payroll deduction.
  • How do I claim Gift Aid?

    Eligible individuals can opt to claim Gift Aid by filling out our Gift Aid Declaration Form and returning it to our UK foundation administrator, Sarah Collin, at sarah.collin@nufoundationuk.org.
