Making more of your gift with the new Matched Funding scheme
There is now a new added incentive for you to make a donation to support the RVC. We will receive an extra £1 for every £3 you donate to your College, thanks to a new UK government Matched Funding scheme.
The government launched this exciting scheme on 1st August 2008. It aims to encourage alumni and others to support Higher Education institutions and will run for three years.
This scheme is not just open to UK donors. Wherever you are in the world, you can add at least a third to the value of your gift, at no extra cost to you. Better still, if you are a UK taxpayer and Gift Aid your donation the Government will also match the Gift Aid, enabling your donation to help even more!
See below for an example of how the Government scheme will make your donation go even further.
There really has never been a better time to donate and help to make sure that future generations are knowledgeable, capable and committed to their work for the welfare of animals. Please help us take advantage of the Governments new scheme; your generosity can help to secure so much.
