Frequently asked questions

Where will the funds go? 

Your gift directly supports Bursaries at Blundell’s School.

Whatever the amount you choose to give, it’s your participation that matters most.

Question about tax-deductibility or gift aid

Blundell’s can claim gift aid on your donations if you are a UK taxpayer and pay an amount of income tax and/or capital gains tax at least equal to the tax that can be redeemed on your donation(s). 

If you are a USA tax payer, you can make a tax efficient donation www.bsuf.org. Please email (devoffice@blundells.org to let us know your name and amount donated so we can add it to the Giving Day total!
