The Ben Jonson Foundation
Established in 2018, the Ben Jonson Foundation is an endowment fund to support bursary places in perpetuity that we seek to grow through investment management and exceptional lifetime gifts, gifts in wills and gifts in memory. Over time, disbursements from this fund will complement the currently available funding provided from the Bursary Fund and other sources.
We value philanthropic partnerships with families, Old Westminsters and others wishing to ensure the accessibility of a Westminster education for future Westminsters of exceptional talent and promise.
If you are interested in learning more about donating to The Ben Jonson Foundation, please contact Kirsten Gallagher, Director of Development on kristen.gallagher@westminster.org.uk.
If you would like to find out about how Westminster awards bursaries, please see the Westminster School and Westminster Under School bursary pages.
Tax efficient giving in the UK
As a registered charity, all donations made to Westminster School by UK tax payers can be made tax efficiently, significantly increasing the value of your gift through Gift Aid at no extra cost to you.
Higher rate tax relief
If you are a higher-rate tax payer, you can claim tax relief on all your charitable donations, including donating your acceptance fee. By including information about your donations in your self-assessment tax return, this significantly reduces the cost of your donations.
Overseas giving
Westminster is registered with a number of foundations with tax-exempt status. This means that families living in the US and Hong Kong are able to benefit from tax deductions on their charitable donations. We would be happy to provide additional information.
