Supporting King’s
Thank you for considering giving a gift to King’s, every donation makes an impact.
At King’s, we believe in the power of community. Every gift of time, expertise, or philanthropy helps us invest in potential, change lives through education, and open our doors wider to talented young people.
As we approach our 200th anniversary in 2029, we are not only celebrating our remarkable history, but creating a King’s for our third century. With your support, we can broaden access, strengthen bursary provision, and ensure that a life-changing King’s education is within reach for generations to come.

How to give tax efficiently
We have made considerable progress with our campaign thanks to securing significant leadership gifts. Leadership giving opportunities within Our Third Century recognise those whose philanthropy is helping to create a King’s for the next 100 years, through membership of The Founders, the King’s Circle of Benefactors and the King’s 200.
Our Founders
Donors who permanently establish a bursary through the endowment will be honoured as Founders.
Founders are recognised as among the most committed supporters of King’s, creating a lasting legacy by funding bursary places in perpetuity. Their transformational investment will help us expand access to a King’s education for generations to come.
As a Founder, we would be proud to celebrate your extraordinary commitment to opening our doors wider and changing lives through education.
The King’s Circle of Benefactors’
To become a Benefactor, we invite gifts of £100,000 or more to help write the next chapter in King’s history.
The King’s Circle of Benefactors will be a founding community of visionary philanthropists, recognised for establishing the King’s College School Bursaries Foundation and helping prepare King’s for its third century.
Their support will increase bursary provision in perpetuity and create a strong foundation for the School’s wider social impact ambitions.
King’s 200
The King’s 200 is a pioneering community of supporters helping to fund life-changing bursaries for talented young people who could not otherwise access a King’s education.
As we approach our bicentenary, we are seeking donors who will help shape the next century of King’s. A gift of £5,000 a year for five years can help fund a full bursary for a pupil for one year.
Together, the King’s 200 will be recognised for making a significant contribution to the Bursaries Foundation endowment, helping secure this commitment for generations to come.
You can make gifts of listed shares and securities, this is a tax-efficient way of giving as donations of publicly quoted shares and certain other investments receive income tax relief at 100% of their market value and are not subject to Capital Gains Tax (CGT) liability. If you would like to discuss gifting shares and securities to King’s please email development@kcs.org.uk.
Your employer may be able to match your donation to King’s, potentially doubling or even tripling the value of your gift at no extra cost to you. Contact your HR department to find out whether your company operates a matched giving scheme.
We are registered with Benevity and you can find out more here.
Payroll Giving is one of the simplest and most effective ways to support King’s. By authorising a donation directly from your salary before Income Tax is calculated, you receive immediate tax relief at your highest rate, reducing the cost of your gift while ensuring more support reaches King’s.
To find out whether your employer offers Payroll Giving, please contact your HR department or employee benefits team.
A Donor Advised Fund (DAF) offers many of the benefits of a private foundation without the administrative complexity. By making a contribution to a DAF , you can receive immediate tax benefits, allow your fund to grow tax-efficiently, and recommend grants to charitable causes over time.
DAFs are managed by specialist charitable organisations, which handle all administration, compliance, and grant-making on your behalf (such as NPT UK and the Charities Aid Foundation). This gives you the flexibility to support King’s when and how you choose, while making your philanthropy simple and effective.
King’s can readily receive grants from DAFs and once you recommend a grant, the sponsoring organisation manages the process and transfers the funds directly to King’s.
