Making a gift from the USA

Tax deductible contributions can be made to The British School and Universities Foundation (BSUF). Grants are made by the BSUF at its sole discretion as required by the IRS, but donors' expressions of preference are respected (contributions made directly to an offshore charity do not qualify for a tax deduction under the IRS).

Therefore, when transmitting your donation, please express your preference for Bedford School Foundation Trust using this form, but not on your cheque, which should be made payable to The British Schools and Universities Foundation.

Please send your completed form and cheque to The British Schools and Universities Foundation. If your employer has a Matching Gift program, they can provide you with a form which you can complete and enclose also.

The British Schools and Universities Foundation
575 Madison Avenue
Suite 1006

If you are a UK taxpayer living in the USA, and you have a UK bank account, please make your donation as for UK residents and Taxpayers. Please email the Foundation if you would like an Overseas Business Reply envelope.
