Giving from outside the UK
The University of Salford is recognised as a Canadian Prescribed University by the Canadian Revenue Agency. This designation allows our Canadian supporters to receive official receipts for tax-effective giving. Similarly, our supporters in the United States can contribute through the British Schools and Universities Foundation (BSUF), which provides US tax receipts for donations. Whether you reside in Canada or the USA, your contributions can significantly impact our university. Below, you will find detailed instructions on how to make your donation and ensure it is tax-effective. Your support helps us continue to provide exceptional education and research opportunities.
Supporting us from Canada
The University of Salford is now registered with the Canadian Revenue Agency as a Canadian Prescribed University. This means that we can issue official receipts to supporters living in Canada and enable tax-effective giving. If you decide to make a contribution to the University of Salford, you can give via any of the methods explained in the leaflet enclosed and request a receipt via email to alumni@salford.ac.uk.
Supporting us from USA
As we do not have a base in the United States, all gifts must be made through the British Schools and Universities Foundation (BSUF). They are able to issue a US tax receipt for donations. They meet quarterly to agree the distribution of funds and therefore as a donor you need to express a preference that the donation goes to the University of Salford.
To make a donation to us through BSUF please follow the steps below. The BSUF prefer donations by cheque if possible as they incur a 3% fee for all credit card donations. For your employer to match this gift, please obtain a matching gift form from them and enclose it in the same envelope as your donation.
