Leave a legacy

Pledging a legacy in your will costs you nothing today but will be incredibly valuable to the University in the years to come. Whatever you want to help your university achieve, from supporting student scholarships and bursaries to advancing applied research, leaving a gift in your will is a way of continuing to transform lives for future generations. Sheffield Hallam University is an exempt charity, which means that any gift left to us in your Will may help reduce the inheritance tax your estate will play.

We would be happy to discuss with you how you would like your gift to be used and potential wording. To speak to a member of the team in confidence about leaving a legacy, please email giving@shu.ac.uk.

In memory donations

Members of the University community may choose to remember those who have sadly passed away through a donation to the Hallam Fund. A donation is a fantastic way for you or your loved ones to continue to contribute to the ongoing impact of the Hallam Fund in the student community and enables you to remember someone who was important to you. You can make an annual or monthly contribution over a set period and, if you choose this option, we will work with you to recognise their memory on our online memorial wall, which will display for the duration of your donation to the Hallam Fund.

Payroll Giving

Staff at Sheffield Hallam University can make a tax efficient donation to the Hallam Fund via the Hands On Payroll Giving portal. Payroll Giving is a simple way to give to any UK charity straight from your monthly pay. For example, if you pay basic rate tax (20%), a £10 monthly donation would cost you £8 per month.

Gift Aid & tax efficient giving

Gift Aid is a UK government scheme that enables the University to claim tax relief on donations from UK taxpayers. We would encourage all eligible donors to add Gift Aid on their donation to maximise the amount given. Please note that we will share relevant and necessary data with HM Revenue and Customs to enable us to reclaim the Gift Aid on your donation. For every £1 a UK taxpayer donates, 25p in reclaimed tax is added.

Donations from companies are not eligible for Gift Aid. However, the company can treat the gift as an allowable expense, making a saving on corporation tax.

Higher rate (40%) and Additional Rate (45%) taxpayers can also reclaim the difference between the basic rate and their top rate of tax on the value of their gift.

If you already give, you can download the form (PDF, 151.2KB) to claim Gift Aid on any donations made in the previous four years. For advice on Gift Aid or if you have any questions about eligibility, please email giving@shu.ac.uk.

Sheffield Hallam’s charitable status

Sheffield Hallam University is an exempt charity for the purpose of charitable legislation. This means that, although it has charitable status, it is exempt from the requirement to register as a charity with the Charity Commission so it does not have a charity reference number. Our HMRC Exempt Charity Number is XN83410. The Office for Students (OfS) acts as the principal regulator for universities that are exempt charities.
