Transnational Giving Europe is a philanthropic scheme that allows donors in participating European countries to give to charities in the UK, including Leighton Park Trust, and receive any tax advantages available in their country of residence.
In order to make a tax-efficient gift, donors should contact the partnership organisation of their country of residence and express a wish to make their donation to the Leighton Park Trust. The partnership organisation will contact CAF (the partnership organisation in the UK), who will then contact Leighton Park. The donor makes the gift to his or her home-country partnership organisation which then provides the donor with a tax receipt and transfers the gift to the beneficiary organisation.
For a list of participating countries please go to the Transnational Giving Europe website and click on your country of residence.
If you would like help with this process, please contact Penny Wallington, Alumni Relations Manager at Leighton Park.
The Leighton Park Trust is an approved institution with the British Schools & Universities Foundation (BSUF). BSUF was set up over 40 years ago to support British schools and universities in a tax efficient way.
To make a gift and take a U.S. income tax deduction, you may make a donation to the British Schools & Universities Foundation (Federal I.D. Number 13-616-1189), a charitable organisation approved by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service under Section 501(c)(3) of their Code.
If you are a Canadian resident with US income you can also make a donation to BSUF and claim a deduction from the US IRS against your US income.
The Leighton Park Trust has a temporary US representative for BSUF, Mr John Stiller. If you would like to make contact with John, please email development@leightonpark.com.
Giving by Check If you would like to make a donation by check, download a Donor Transmittal Form and send it to:
British Schools and Universities Foundation 575 Madison Avenue Suite 1006 New York NY 10022-2511
A preference for Leighton Park Trust should be expressed on the transmittal form not on your check which is to be drawn to the order of the British Schools & Universities Foundation. Such preferences are respected by the Foundation but all grants are made at its sole discretion, as required by the I.R.S. BSUF will send you a receipt. If you wish the tax deduction in the current year, you should send your gift no later than four weeks before December 31st.
Giving by Credit Card You can make one-time or regular donations by credit card using the Network for Good. Just follow the instructions on the BSUF website.
Making a Bequest A provision may be made in your Will or Trust bequeathing money to the BSUF. To contact BSUF regarding a bequest please send an e-mail to treasurer@bsuf.org.
Other Ways to Give Why not consider setting up a Charitable Remainder Unitrust or an Individual Retirement Account or giving securities. You can find more information on the BSUF website.
