Donors in the United States

  We process donations from US taxpayers through Network for Good, a registered US non-profit organisation that provides fundraising services to charities. Network for Good will issue your IRS tax receipt for donations made to the University of St Andrews American Foundation, and you will receive a separate letter from the Foundation. Find out more about Network for Good on their website.

  If you prefer not to make your donation through Network for Good, please contact us at donate@st-andrews.ac.uk or find out about other convenient donation vehicles below.

• Electronic Transfers (ACH or Wire)

  To make a donation through a ACH or Wire transfer, please contact us at donate@st-andrews.ac.uk  or +44(0)1334 461906.

  Wire transfers are used to transfer funds directly from one bank account to another often requiring only an account and routing number. Funds also land once the wire goes through assuring the payee obtains the funds sooner. Please note that once funds have been wired, because of the immediacy, recalling erroneous transactions is much more difficult, involving bank investigations and service fees.

  ACH stands for Automated Clearinghouse (not to be confused with Publishers Clearing House), a network of banks that are batching transactions between them. It is also known as “direct deposit.” ACH transfers are generally done in groups or batches and can take anywhere from a few hours to several days to be completed. ACH transfers are lower cost than wire transfers but they land in the payee’s account later. ACH is also a US only network, thus not available to payees outside the United States.

• Gifts of stock

  If you would like to make a stock gift to the University, please contact us at donate@st-andrews.ac.uk  or +44(0)1334 461906.

• Matching donations

  Many employers will match their employees' donations to charitable organizations like the University of St Andrews American Foundation.

  To find out if your employer matches donations, visit your Human Resources representative or contact us at donate@st-andrews.ac.uk or +44(0)1334 461906.  Please be aware that many matching donation programs are time-sensitive and must be activated within three months to a year after the initial donation is made.
