If you are a United Kingdom taxpayer, you can support Cornell and benefit from the tax advantages provided by the UK by making your gift through the Cornell University Foundation (UK) Ltd, our UK registered charity. If you pay taxes in the UK and the United States, you can claim tax relief in both countries through the UK Foundation. Please find more information, including how to access Gift Aid, in our FAQ document (pdf).

To make gifts by cash or sterling check, download and fill out our Gift Aid Declaration form (pdf) and send, along with your gift payable to the Cornell University Foundation (UK) Ltd., to:

Eileen Flood, Administrator
Cornell University Foundation (UK) Ltd.
19 Norcott Road
London N16 7EJ
United Kingdom

For wire transfers, please find information on bank details here (pdf).

If you are a taxpayer in another European country, you may be able to support Cornell and benefit from tax advantages through Cornell’s partnership with Giving Europe. Giving Europe (GE) enables donors in many countries to facilitate gifts through the UK Foundation. Current participating countries include:

  • Belgium
  • Bulgaria
  • Croatia
  • Estonia
  • France
  • Germany
  • Greece
  • Hungary
  • Italy
  • Luxembourg
  • Poland
  • Slovakia
  • Slovenia
  • Spain
  • Switzerland

If you are a taxpayer in a European country not listed above, it may still be possible to receive tax benefits through GE. Some GE partners wait for active donor interest before granting it. We are happy to assist with this process.

For questions about giving from the UK or any other European country, please contact Eileen Flood at 020-7502-2813 or ebf47@cornell.edu.
