Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make a donation if I am based in the UK?
You can set up a Direct Debit to give monthly, quarterly or annually via our secure Direct Debit form. Alternatively, you can give regularly via a Give as You Earn scheme – speak to your payroll/HR team to see if this is an option for you.
To give a single gift, you can use our online payment form here or alternatively send a cheque made payable to “The University of Warwick” to the following address:
Engagement Group
University House
University of Warwick
Coventry

We also accept gifts via CAF card, CAF cheque and a CAF Standing Order. See the CAF website for more details and contact us if you need help.
How do I make a donation if I am based overseas?
Giving tax-efficiently from Europe and the United States. Please contact Benefactors@warwick.ac.uk for more information.
You can also give via the same methods as within the UK – please be aware that you will need to have a UK bank account to set up a Direct Debit, but we can accept single gifts in the same way as above.
We can also accept bank transfers, please notify us at Benefactors@warwick.ac.uk if you would like to give via bank transfer, and specify any intended direction for your gift.
