Make your money go even further with Gift Aid.
If you are a UK tax payer, Harper Adams University College can claim back the tax you have already paid on your gift from the Inland Revenue through the Gift Aid programme. By claiming Gift Aid, Harper Adams will receive an extra 25 pence from HM Revenue and Customs for every pound you give.
Here's how your donation could be worth more to the University College at no extra cost to you:
| Your gift to Harper Adams | Your gift plus tax claimed through Gift Aid if you are a BASIC or HIGHER RATE tax payer* | Amount that you can claim in your self assessment tax return as a HIGHER RATE tax payer** | Actual cost of donation to a HIGHER RATE tax payer, after claiming tax relief |
|---|---|---|---|
| £50.00 | £62.50 | £12.50 | £37.50 |
| £100.00 | £125.00 | £25.00 | £75.00 |
| £200.00 | £250.00 | £50.00 | £150.00 |

Further information on Gift Aid
Your generous donation will go to the University College's Development Trust. The Development Trust was created with the goal of supporting the work of the University College by improving student learning, facilities and by providing an endowment to pay for scholarships for students less able, because of their financial or personal circumstances, to pursue a course in higher education.
Harper Adams is the UK's largest higher education institution specialising in the sustainable development of the rural economy and rural communities. The College has 2000 undergraduate and postgraduate students taking courses in all aspects of rural life, including agriculture, the management of the food chain, the management of the countryside, the development of rural businesses, the protection of environmental and natural resources, rural leisure and tourism and the professional training of veterinary nurses and practice managers. The University College, based in rural Shropshire, is also a major centre for rural and food chain research and knowledge transfer.
Your donation or bequest will make a lasting difference to the work of this national centre of excellence in rural higher education and to those who wish to pursue a career in the rural or food chain sectors. Whether for scholarships or used towards a capital project, your gift makes a real difference where the need is greatest.
Thank you for your support!
