Gifts from the US

Tax-deductible Gifts

Tax-deductible contributions may be made to the British Schools and Universities Foundation (BSUF). Please express your preference that they should be directed to Bedford School. Donors' expressions of preference are respected by BSUF and the Foundation. All grants are made at its sole discretion as required by the I.R.S. Contributions made from the USA directly to an offshore charity do not qualify for a tax deduction under the I.R.S. code. Please click here for the BSUF Donation Form.

When making your donation, please express your preference for ‘Bedford School’ in your letter and not on your check. Your check should be made payable to The British Schools and Universities Foundation.

Your check should be sent with a covering note to our contact for BSUF gifts, Professor Paul Talalay who is an Old Bedfordian who has kindly volunteered to co-ordinate gifts to the School and Foundation from the USA. His address is:
