The University Church is open 365 days a year.  The church receives no funding from the government, the University of Oxford, or the National Church. To sustain our ministry of worship, learning and hospitality, we depend entirely on your generosity and support. Without your amazing generosity, our work would not be possible. 

There are many ways to give to the University Church. If you simply want to make an online donation, please scroll down. We are so grateful for your support!

The Parish Giving Scheme 

Regular giving is a great way to support the University Church. It means the church has an assured income and can plan for the future much more effectively. It means we know we can support our ministry in the years ahead. The Parish Giving Scheme is easy to join and enables members and supporters to give direct to the church by Direct Debit. The church will receive the donations every month without any deduction whatsoever. The church will also receive the applicable Gift Aid, if you are a taxpayer.

North America

Each year we welcome many people from the United States and Canada. Gifts from our U.S. donors are received by Americans for Oxford. Americans for Oxford, Inc. (AFO) is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization (recognized by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service) which seeks gifts to benefit the University and its colleges. Canadian visitors can make a donation by getting in touch with the University's Development Office. U.S. donors can make a donation online by clicking the button below.
