Giving from Overseas

EU and Europe residents

Donors from the EU and Europe may donate by any of the methods described above. Please note that we can only process card or online donations in GBP pounds sterling.

Benefactors in a number of European countries may be able to make tax-efficient donations to the University of Sheffield through Transnational Giving Europe (TGE), a partnership of leading European foundations that facilitates tax-efficient cross-border giving within Europe. TGE is currently operational for donations from and to at least a dozen European countries.   The TGE network enables donors resident in one of the participating countries (both corporations and individuals) to financially support non-profit organisations in other member countries, while benefiting directly from the tax advantages provided for in the legislation of their country of residence.

For more information please contact Steve Clark +44 (0)114 222 1076 or email s.r.clark@sheffield.ac.uk.
