Giving from overseas

United States

If you are a US taxpayer, you have two ways to donate to the University of Melbourne.

Canada

If you reside in Canada, the Income Tax Act of Canada allows tax-deductible donations and gifts to prescribed universities overseas, including directly to the University of Melbourne. Learn about ways to give to the University of Melbourne directly.

For more information on income tax regulations, you or your tax adviser can find the latest information in Section 3503 and Schedule VIII of the Income Tax Act.

United Kingdom

As a UK taxpayer, you can donate to the University of Melbourne through our partner, The Chapel & York UK Foundation (UK Foundation), a registered charity (number 1172653).

By donating to the UK Foundation and completing a Gift Aid declaration, you enable Gift Aid to be claimed from the UK Government and added to your initial gift amount. This means that the UK Foundation can claim back from the government, on your behalf, 25p for every £1 donated, boosting the value of your donation to the University by 25%.

Once your donation has been received and processed, the UK Foundation will send you an acknowledgement to your email address to confirm receipt of the donation, and your donation will be transferred to the University after each quarterly UK Foundation board meeting.

Hong Kong

Hong Kong taxpayers can make a donation to the University of Melbourne via the Hong Kong Foundation for Charities (BRN 65159428-000), registered under Section 88 of the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Ordinance as a charitable institution or trust, and authorised to issue tax receipts for approved charitable donations.

Approved charitable purposes include donations for the advancement of education.

The Hong Kong Foundation for Charities will issue a receipt for income tax purposes and your donation will be applied to educational purposes at the University of Melbourne after each quarterly Hong Kong Foundation board meeting.
