Giving

Could you consider becoming a partner in our work by giving financially?

Friends International is reliant on God to provide for all our needs through the gifts of supporters. Your gifts will sustain the ongoing work and enable us to befriend even more international students in more places. You can support the work of Friends International across the UK or in your local area. You can choose for your gift to support the mission as a whole – or to support an individual staff worker.

Give regularly

Regular gifts by standing order are easy to set up and help us enormously, as they enable us to plan ahead. A standing order gives you control over your regular giving - once your standing order is set up, you can contact your bank directly to make any changes. You can give monthly, quarterly or annually to suit your circumstances. Please contact us for a standing order form.

Give by cheque

If you would like to make a gift by cheque or charity voucher, please make it payable to Friends International and send it to:
Friends International
3 Crescent Stables
139 Upper Richmond Road
London SW15 2TN
If your gift is to support an individual staff worker, please send their name with your gift. UK taxpayers can enable us to increase the value of gifts by signing a Gift Aid declaration (please see below).

Gift Aid

If you are a UK taxpayer, a Gift Aid declaration enables your donation to go further, at no cost to yourself. Friends International is able to reclaim 28p on every pound you give, from the tax you have already paid. Please click here to download a Gift Aid declaration. Please return it to Friends International (3 Crescent Stables, 139 Upper Richmond Road, London SW15 2TN). The declaration is a PDF - you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to open it.

Legacies

Friends International can benefit from the forward thinking of long-term supporters who choose to include Friends International in their will. Tax exemptions apply to charitable bequests, which can benefit the whole estate. A legacy is an opportunity - after providing for loved ones - to continue supporting God's ministry after your death. Email for a leaflet with advice on making a will, or contact a qualified legal advisor.

Donations from the USA

US taxpayers can make gifts to Friends International and receive a full tax deduction with no administration costs, through our association with CAF America (a 501(c)(3) public charity). To make a tax-deductable gift, you can give online by pressing the Give Now donation button and following the link. Alternatively you can download the CAF America donation form, fill it in and send it - with your cheque payable to CAF America - to King Street Station, 1800 Diagonal Road, Suite 150, Alexandria, VA 22314-2840 USA.

If your gift is not tax deductable, you can make a US Dollar cheque payable to Friends International or transfer gifts to our Dollar account - please email for details.
