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, from 20th-21st June 2023, we are aiming to raise as much as possible towards the Beale Awards, so that we can widen access to the transformational opportunity of a CLC education.

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 the Beale Awards, you are playing an important part in the lives of promising young women who have everything to gain from the kind of education that we offer at CLC.

Why is CLC Giving Day different to any other day?

Gifts made up to 21st June will go even further than usual. Thanks to a match fund donor, the first £20,000 raised will be matched pound for pound!

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 credit card at CLCGivingday.hubbub.net

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

By post: Gifts must be received by the end of 21st June to count for match funding. 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 form.

How else can I help?

Your support will make a huge difference to CLC and the success of our very first 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, we are using a secure, off-site payment processor called Stripe to process our credit card transactions.

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.

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!).

How can I get in touch?
