Frequently asked questions

Where will the funds go?

Your gift goes directly to us - and you can find out more on our homepage. This fuels critical areas, including future-proofing our buildings and supporting our students.

Wherever you choose to give, it’s your participation that matters most.

Is my payment secure?

Yes. All payments through the Oriel Here & Now website will be securely processed by Stripe www.stripe.com/gb/privacy and Stripe US www.stripe.com/en-US/privacy.

Why is my payment not going through?

Please check that you have included your postcode in both the address field and the card details field of the gift form. If there is still a problem you may have to contact your card provider and inform them that the payment is valid. For any queries please contact us at development.office@oriel.ox.ac.uk

Can I see my gift on this website?

Yes! If you’ve chosen not to make your gift anonymous, you can take a look at the donor wall to see your name.

Is there another way to donate to you other than online?

Yes, you can contact us at development.office@oriel.ox.ac.uk or call +44 (0)1865 276521 and we’ll be delighted to help you make your gift.

I set up a recurring payment, what will show in the totaliser?

Yes, the total of your direct debit payments for the duration of time selected will show up in the total raised on the website.

I still have questions. How can I get in touch?

How can I give my gift?

How can I give tax-effectively?

We can provide gift receipts for all donations. If you’re a UK taxpayer, please consider adding Gift Aid to your donation – this increases the impact of your gift by 25%, at no extra cost to you. US Orielenses can give through our 501c3, Americans for Oxford, via this website's donation form.
