Your Annual Giving is vital to sustaining and further enhancing the Rhodes Scholarships. Your gift will provide immediate impact and support for the Rhodes Scholars in Oxford today. There are many ways to give. We hope you will choose the one that is right for you.

With the formation a new 501(c)(3) in the United States, Rhodes Scholarships in America (RSAM), we are pleased to share a new one-click giving (debit/credit card, Apple Pay, and Google Pay) page.

If you prefer to mail a check to RSAM, please download and submit the donation form either by email or post so that a receipt can be issued.

Alternatively, you are still welcome to donate through Americans for Oxford, Inc. (AFO) or the American Trust for Oxford (ATFO). To ensure tax efficiency and the necessary tax receipt, donations must be channelled through one of these organisations rather than sent directly to the Rhodes Trust in Oxford.

Please select the "Rhodes Trust" on the drop-down menu indicating gift preference in either instance.

Americans for Oxford, Inc.’s (AFO) Federal Tax Identification Number (EIN): 52-1495060

American Trust for Oxford (ATFO) Federal Tax Identification Number (EIN): 13-6024454

If you prefer to mail a check to ATFO, please click here to see the donation form, which you can download and submit by email or post so that a receipt can be issued.

To make a gift of stock or wire transfer, please contact us at development@rhodeshouse.ox.ac.uk or call +44 (0)1865 270901 for the relevant details. It is important that we are notified prior to every transfer so we may accurately identify and acknowledge your gift.

It is sometimes possible to double or even triple the impact of your donation if your employer has a matched giving scheme in place. This can easily be checked by searching our list of U.S. companies which participate in this scheme. The matched giving form should be sent to the same 501(c)(3) as your original gift, which will be either Americans for Oxford (AFO) or the American Trust for Oxford (ATFO).

The Rhodes Trust welcomes major gift commitments that can be paid over a number of years. Donors may specify an unrestricted gift to the Trust’s endowment or designate their contributions in support of specific programmes, initiatives or Scholarships.

For more information on capital gifts, including endowing Scholarships, please contact us at development@rhodeshouse.ox.ac.uk or call +44 (0)1865 270901.

You can make federal tax-free gifts, known as the IRA Charitable Rollover, to qualified charities such as the Rhodes Trust from your IRAs:

• Donors aged 70½ and older may transfer up to $100,000 directly from IRAs to charities.
• The transfer generates neither taxable income nor a federal tax deduction, so donors who do not itemize their tax deductions can benefit.
• The IRA charitable rollover gift satisfies all or part of the required minimum distribution (RMD) requirement.
