Glasgow Gives 2024

The University of Glasgow’s Giving Day is a chance for our entire community, including alumni, students, parents, staff, donors and friends, to reflect on our shared experiences of Glasgow and help make a difference by supporting areas within the University that need vital funding.

The Glasgow Gives 2024 Giving Day will largely promote and support Student Support, Student Experience, and Health Inequalities. More details on the projects you can support can be found using the buttons at the bottom of this page.

If you are a UK Tax Payer you can increase the value of your gift by 25p for every £1 given at no extra cost to yourself by ticking ‘Yes’ to Gift Aid. This enables the University of Glasgow Trust to reclaim the tax you have already paid on your gift.

Please note you must be a UK Tax Payer, and you must have paid enough tax to cover all of the Gift Aid claimed on your charitable giving. If you have not done so HMRC may ask you to pay the difference. Read more about it or to calculate further benefits of claiming tax back as a higher rate taxpayer.

Challenge Funds are gifts set aside by some of our generous donors, to help match gifts or encourage us to reach certain fundraising targets on the day to help support go even further. Some of these challenges include encouraging as many donors or countries to get involved as possible or helping release funds after we reach a total or get a certain number of gifts onboard.

Whilst some of these funds have already been secured, we need your support to help ensure we can meet the criteria of these challenges and fulfil the wishes of these early supporters.
