Giving from the USA
U.S. citizens are generally subject to U.S. federal income tax on their worldwide income, regardless of where they live. Subject to the applicable U.S. tax rules, a donation to a qualifying U.S. charitable organization recognised under section 501(c)(3) may be eligible for a charitable deduction.
British Schools and Universities Foundation (BSUF) is a U.S. charitable organization recognised under section 501(c)(3). A U.S. donor may therefore wish to make a donation to BSUF and, separately, express a non-binding preference that the funds be considered for support of the Sedbergh School Foundation.
Any such preference would be a request only and would not constitute a direction, condition or requirement as to the use of the funds. BSUF would retain full control and discretion over the contribution and would independently determine whether to approve and make a grant to the Sedbergh School Foundation in accordance with BSUF’s charitable purposes and applicable U.S. law.
Donors should obtain independent U.S. tax advice regarding the deductibility of any particular contribution, including the applicable deduction, substantiation and limitation rules.
