For Canadian Donors – All donations to Merton College are tax-deductible. The University of Oxford represents an educational institution specifically designated for charitable status under the Income Tax Act (Canada) and Regulations [Section 3503] thereto. In line with these regulations, Canadians may make a donation in two ways:

(1) Checks may be made payable to The University of Oxford Development Trust and sent to MC3 for recording and forwarding to the Merton College Development Office, or you may send it directly to the Merton College Development Office. Please download and print a donation form and include it with your check.

(2) If you would prefer the convenience of making an on-line donation by credit or debit card, please visit the University of Oxford Online Giving pages, note how you wish to allocate your donation and follow the prompts. Remember to check the box indicating that you are a Canadian taxpayer and would like the University Development Office to issue a tax receipt. Please note the University can only process credit card donations in sterling.

Whichever method you use, you will be issued a tax receipt by the University Development Office in due course, usually within two months of the gift being made.
