Warwick Match
• Aim = to increase charitable income and
participation
• £200 million available to Higher Education
institutions in England until July 2011
• Up to £2.75 million is available to Warwick in the
form of matched funds
• Matching ratio = additional £1 for every £3 raised
• Warwick will match gifts from new donors and
increased/additional gifts from existing donors
What income is eligible?
Only gifts are eligible for matched funding.
HEFCE states that a gift is…
• A voluntary transfer of money by a donor, made with philanthropic
intent.
• After receipt, the gift must be owned in full by the receiving
institution.
• The recipient institution must retain complete ownership of any
resultant work or project.
• The donor may not retain any explicit or implicit control over a gift
after acceptance by an institution.
How can Warwick staff be involved in
maximising this opportunity?
All philanthropic income should be directed
through DARO in order to benefit from Gift Aid and
Warwick Match.
Please contact DARO for advice on philanthropic
income and Warwick Match.
