Flexible Payments
We are flexible regarding how you pay for your donation and payments can be spread over time. For example, if you would like to donate £1,000, you can pay over two years by setting up a standing order at £41.66 per month.
We strongly recommend potential donors visit the HMRC website for the latest guidelines and information regarding Gift Aid and tax relief, and suggest you speak to a financial adviser.
Regular Giving
In recent years, regular giving campaigns have generated generous and regular financial support for bursaries and Annual Fund projects. When donors give even small amounts, the sums add up quickly.
To make a regular gift, please sign and return this Standing Order form or call 01372 821042 to arrange over the phone. And don’t forget, if your regular donation is eligible for Gift Aid, please sign and return this Gift Aid Declaration form.
The College is grateful for this steady income and outstanding show of support.
Code of Ethical Fundraising
At the heart of fundraising ethics lies the need to ensure that the trust of the donor is not violated, which requires openness, transparency and respect. Epsom College takes this very seriously and has therefore developed a code of practice.
