Benefits of Giving through the Trust
Tax Relief for Donors
As a UK Charity, Friends of Harvard UK offers tax relief to UK donors via Gift Aid, enabling you to support the University's research and educational activities in a tax-efficient way. Donors in higher tax brackets may be able to claim a tax deduction.
