Giving

Girton was founded on philanthropy, and exists today only because of the vision and generosity of its benefactors. 

You can support us in three ways. You can make a donation – there are a variety of options for doing so. You can choose to remember us in your Will by leaving a legacy to the College. And you can use our state-of-the- art accommodation and events facilities at Girton or Wolfson Court you can help us boost our conference business.

Making a Donation

Gifts may take the form of lump sums, or can be given through regular instalments over a period of time. Donations can be received as cash, shares or other financial instruments. Girton College is a Registered charity (number 1137541), so giving can usually be tax-efficient. Donations are most effective when added to the endowment, though they may also be directed to specific funds. Whether small or large, every gift is precious; every penny wisely spent.

For more information on different ways of giving, please see our Tax-efficient Giving Page, or contact the Development Office on +44 (0)1223 766672 or JLIB_HTML_CLOAKING .

Thank you for your support!

Academic Independence

The College accepts donations on the clear understanding that the Donor can have no influence over the academic freedom and independence of the College, or indeed any aspect of its affairs, including the procurement of goods and services. In particular, the College’s selection criteria for admissions are based exclusively on academic achievement and potential, and are fully independent of philanthropic support of the College. Any gift made to the College will not affect the admission or academic record of any current or future students nor have a bearing on any dispute between a student and the College about the outcome of his/her programme of study.
