Queens' College partners with
Chapel & York in Hong Kong
We are pleased to announce that we have partnered with the Chapel & York Hong Kong Foundation who, from now on, will be accepting donations for our benefit. This partnership allows us to save on the costs of operating our own dedicated entity in Hong Kong and gives you the opportunity to support Queens’ with tax-deductible donations. This partnership means your gift will go further, and enable us to accomplish more, than ever before!
A list of "Frequently Asked Questions" can be found below:
Q: What is Chapel & York and what do they do?
A: For over 25 years, Chapel & York has facilitated international fundraising in multiple countries worldwide (including Hong Kong, Canada, the USA, the UK, and Europe).
Q: How does this partnership benefit me?
A: Chapel & York will enable our alumni community in Hong Kong to give tax-efficiently to Queens'. This is one of the key reasons for setting up this exciting partnership. Chapel & York will provide donors with a receipt for their tax purposes.
Q: I already have a regular gift to Queens' set up. How will this new partnership impact me?
A: The introduction of this partnership has no impact on your current regular giving commitments to Queens'. This means that nothing will change, unless you wish it to do so. Contact development@queens.cam.ac.uk if you wish to cancel your current regular gift and set up a new one to Chapel & York.
Q: When does Queens' receive the funds?
A: Grants/payments are awarded to Queens' on a quarterly basis, once the Board at Chapel & York have met to approve the charitable gifts.
Q: Does Chapel & York charge a fee?
A: Yes. The Chapel & York Foundation retains a 1% deduction of each donation received. However, we believe that this deduction is worth it by providing our supporters with the ability to give tax-efficiently to our organisation. And, for comparison, Cambridge in America takes a 4.5% cut from each donation received.
