Frequently asked questions

What is CLC Giving Day?

CLC Giving Day is an exciting opportunity for the entire Cheltenham Ladies’ College community, all over the world, to come together to celebrate CLC and make a difference for our pupils.

During this 36-hour online fundraising challenge, on 18th and 19th June 2025, we are aiming to raise as much as possible to support projects College-wide. From sustainability initiatives and social spaces to bursaries, we hope to widen access to the transformational opportunity of a CLC education and enhance the experience of those already here.

What difference will my gift make?

Coming together as a community, your gift, large or small, will really make a difference. Having a large number of donors encourages others to support us too. Whatever you can give, you can be sure that your contribution is effective and greatly appreciated. By supporting Giving Day, you are playing an important part in the lives of promising young women studying at CLC today, and those who will come after them.

Why is CLC Giving Day different to any other day?

Throughout the day there will be challenge funds available, unlocking additional funds kindly donated by members of our community.

How can I make my gift?

We want to make it easy for you to participate in the Giving Day, and gifts can be made a variety of ways on the day:

Online: by debit/credit card at CLCGivingday.hubbub.net

By phone: Call +44 (0)1242 908772 or 520691

By post: Please email development@cheltladiescollege.org for a form.

Can I make a gift before the Giving Day?

Yes! We know that donors’ schedules may not allow them to participate during the Giving Day itself. You can make a gift online now or send your gift by post. Please email development@cheltladiescollege.org for a postal form.

How else can I help?

Your support will make a huge difference to CLC and the success of Giving Day. You can also spread the word - please tell anyone else that might be interested in supporting to get involved and make a difference. Please also share the site on social media.

Is my credit card payment secure?

Yes. All payments through the CLC Giving Day website will be securely processed through Stripe. See Stripe's UK Privacy Policy or Stripe's US Privacy Policy for more information.

Is there a minimum or maximum donation I can make?

The minimum online gift amount is £1. There’s no maximum donation, and no limit on the impact you can make. Every gift, large or small, is appreciated and makes a difference.

Can I claim Gift Aid on this donation?

Yes, as long as you have paid as much UK Income Tax and/or Capital Gains tax as the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all of your donations in this tax year, CLC can reclaim the basic tax rate (25%) on your gift, with no extra cost to you. So for example, your donation of £100 will actually be worth £125 (before match funding has been added!).
