Now Is The Time For All The Good To Come To The Aid of Universities

A friend and I recently gave some money to Liverpool University for pancreatic cancer research.

What we hadn’t realised was that as Liverpool University is in tier three of the government’s Matched Funding Scheme, this means that they add one pound for every three pounds raised. So if you say give £100, which with Gift Aid is actually £125 to the University, another £42 will be added. There are conditions and not all universities get a one to three topup.

Full details of the scheme are detailed here.

The scheme ends in July 2011, so if you are thinking about giving some money to a University, perhaps now is the time to do it!
