GIVING OPPORTUNITIES AND RECOGNITION

Norham St Edmund student accommodation and communal facilities

We will only be able to reach our goal of £15m with the support of our alumni and friends. Gifts as small as £50 can make a real difference in this once-in-a-generation development, helping to make the Hall more accessible and environmentally sustainable.

For larger gifts see our Naming Opportunities below and contact the Development Office.

Recognition

All donors who make a gift of any size towards NSE shall have their name listed in the Norham St Edmund Book of Benefactors (unless choosing to remain anonymous). Donors who make cumulative contributions of £1,000 or more towards the project will be listed on a Norham St Edmund Donor Board which will be installed in a prominent location within the development. Those who make cumulative contributions of £5,000 or more can enquire about one of the Naming Opportunities listed below.

Naming Oppportunities are available through one-off and cumulative giving. A gift of £50,000, for example, will name the Ecology Pond, whether a single gift or as five annual donations of £10,000.

UK taxpayers can further reduce their gifts through tax-efficient donations. St Edmund Hall can claim Gift Aid and the donor can reclaim it against their tax liability. For example, if the Higher Rate of income tax (40%) is being paid and a donor makes a gift of £40,000, the Hall can claim £10,000 in Gift Aid, making the value of this gift £50,000.

If you are interested in any of the naming opportunities above, please contact the Development Office.

Supporting the NSE project with regular giving seems to me to be a perfect way to give a little back to St Edmund Hall for all it did for me. Norham St Edmund, when it is completed, will put the Hall on the cutting-edge in environmentally-responsible building, create badly-needed housing for students, put JCR and MCR students in a unified community, and provide revenue-producing conference space, all in a stunning North Oxford location on the Parks border. There are a lot of good reasons to give to the Hall, and the NSE project is most assuredly one of them.
