USA Donors

Gifts to Oriel College can be made to Americans for Oxford Inc., which has been determined by the United States Internal Revenue Service to qualify, under Sections 501(c)(3) and 509(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, as a tax exempt public charity to which tax-deductible contributions may be made.

Please note that to maintain the deductible status of gifts, US law requires that the Board of Directors retain control and discretion concerning grants to Oxford.  Thus the wording used on the Americans for Oxford Gift form states, 'it is my preference that $ xx be allocated to Oriel College'.  Whilst this phrasing is required legally, in practice the Board of Directors will always honor the wishes of donors.
