Enhancing the value of your gift
Tax efficient giving can enhance the value of your gift to the Queen Mary, University of London Foundation if you are a UK tax payer.

The value of your gift to the Queen Mary University of London Foundation can be enhanced by as much as 25 per cent if you sign a Gift Aid Declaration.
