Elizabeth College is a participant in the Amazon Europe S.à r.l. Associates Programme, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.co.uk |
Donations can be made either as a cheque, payable to the Elizabeth College Foundation, or through a regular standing order (please also see details below on Tax benefits). This regular payment arrangement, which can help to make even substantial donations affordable, has proved to be very popular with donors to the Appeal with nearly half of the Foundation Appeal donors choosing to spread their giving in this way.
If you would like to set up a payment through a regular standing order please print and complete the form below, or contact the Foundation Office (Tel 01481 728217).

IMPORTANT - Elizabeth College Foundation can reclaim tax paid on donations
The tax legislation on charitable donations changed in Guernsey on 1st January 2010. Whereas previously an individual has been able to reclaim tax paid on covenanted donations made to a Guernsey Registered charity, now the charity is able to reclaim the tax on donations, within defined limits, and the donations do not need to have been made through a covenant. This is excellent news for the Foundation as it effectively results in a 25% increase in the value of any qualifying donation.
We are now able to reclaim from the Tax Office the tax paid on any charitable donations provided that the donation meets the following criteria:
• The donation is of at least £500 and no more than £5,000 (£10,000 for married couples) in any one year. The limit of £5,000 per person per annum is the limit for reclaiming tax for all donations to all Guernsey Charities;
• The donation is made from income on which tax has been paid in Guernsey; and
• The donor completes a form CH1 confirming that the donation is meets the Tax Office criteria.
Transitional arrangements mean that all existing covenants will continue to exist under the old rules, where the individual can claim the tax relief, so any existing covenants are unaffected.
Please complete and return the CH1 form with any qualifying donations
