Recognition of Donors
The names of all donors to the School will be published on annual basis, unless you have previously requested for your support to remain anonymous. Click here for the latest published list of donors.
All donors whose total gifts to the School amount to £10,000 (gross of any tax claimed by the School from the Inland Revenue) and above and all those who have made a legacy in their Will in favour of the Perse qualify for membership of the Dr Perse Society. Click here for further information on the Society.
For certain projects there will be naming opportunities where the donor will be able to name the whole or part of a project (e.g. a building, room or bursary). The minimum donation for such an opportunity is £100,000 (gross of tax claimed by the School from Customs & Revenue), which can be spread over a period of up to five years. Unless otherwise stated in any literature all naming opportunities are by individual negotiation with the School.
