The Bradford Futures Fund

The University has responded to the current cost of living crisis by increasing the Bradford Futures Fund annual award to £1,500, an increase of £500 from the previous year. This uplift will make a bigger impact to those in most need of support.

We are determined to increase the number of students these scholarships can make a difference to, and this will only be possible with your help.

Gift Aid - Making your gift go further

UK taxpayers can make their donations to the University of Bradford go further with Gift Aid which can increase the value of your gift by 25% at no extra cost to you. The University of Bradford is a charity exempt from registration in England and Wales, which means your gift could be enhanced through tax-efficient giving. Gift Aid is reclaimed by the University from the tax you pay for the current tax year.

Gift Aid is a government scheme that allows charities like the University of Bradford to claim back the basic rate tax that donors have already paid on the money they donate. By claiming Gift Aid, for every pound that you donate, we receive an extra 25p from HM Revenue and Customs. It’s a great way to make your gift go further.

If you are happy for the University to claim Gift Aid on your donation please let us know by either completing our Gift Aid declaration form below and returning it to us or contacting [email protected]
