discuss a potential donation or offer of financial support I have received

This is for anyone who receives an enquiry or offer of a donation to support their faculty/department/programmes.

1. Determine the level of financial support available where possible: Where possible please determine the potential size of donation or type of support that the donor is interested in e.g. scholarship, prize, award. Any information available is helpful at this early stage.
Departments/faculties should also assess if a prospect has wider philanthropic potential. If so, please contact UCL Advancement who can advise on how to maximise donations and nurture the potential for future giving
2. Assess any potential risks associated with the potential donation and with the donor’s reputation: If the potential donation is under £100,000 the department is responsible for assessing any potential risks associated with the donation and with the donor’s reputation and any consequential harm this may cause to UCL and UCL’s reputation.
If risks are identified, the potential donor will be referred to the Gift Acceptance Committee for review via UCL Advancement.
Donations over £100,000 will require a full due diligence check undertaken by UCL Advancement.
3. Contact OVPA (Advancement) for advice, support and next steps: Contact fundraising.support@ucl.ac.uk or liaise with your existing UCL Advancement contact if available with all the information available where you will receive advice
