Giving from the USA

In order for supporters from the USA to make tax effective gifts to Giggleswick School, we have joined the British Schools and Universities Foundation Inc.
This body represents over a hundred UK and Commonwealth institutions and enables you to claim an income tax deduction alongside your gift to the School. To help us process gifts from the USA please send a copy of our USA Gift Form with any gift of cash or securities.

Cash Gifts

If you would like to make a gift of cash to the School from the USA we ask that you make your cheque payable to the British Schools & Universities Foundation. Then please send your cheque to the address below, along with our special USA Gift Form. We will then forward this on to the BSUF. All gifts postmarked before December 31st will qualify for current-year tax deduction.

Securities held by you: Send or deliver unendorsed certificates by Express or Priority Mail, along with a letter of transmittal referencing BSUF and giving your name and address to Mari Hurd at the UBS address above with copies to both School and the BSUF Treasurer at the address above.

Under separate cover, mail to Mari Hurd a Stock Power executed in blank for each security, along with our USA Gift Form. You should also send a copy of this form to both Giggleswick and the BSUF Treasurer.

Please do not fill in BSUF's or Giggleswick School’s name as transferee on either the stock certificate or the Stock Power, and please do not send stock certificates to a transfer agent for transfer to Giggleswick’s or the BSUF's name

For listed securities, the value of the gift is the mean between the high and low quotations on the date the gift is made. Donors should consult their own attorneys or accountants for tax advice about specific gifts. BSUF's Federal ID Number is 13-6161189.

Advice from the IRS/BSUF
To make a gift and take a U.S. income tax deduction, you may make a donation to the British Schools & Universities Foundation (Federal I.D. Number 13-616-1189), a charitable organization approved by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service under Section 501(c)(3) of their Code. You should express "a preference for Giggleswick School" in your transmittal letter, not on your check which is to be drawn to the order of the British Schools & Universities Foundation. Such preferences are respected by the Foundation but all grants are made at its sole discretion, as required by the I.R.S.
