My time at Merton has provided me with
lifelong memories. I was fortunate enough to
establish wonderful friendships, receive a first
class education and be part of the Merton family. They were amongst the most important, formative
years of my life and I remain very grateful for the
opportunities that my time at Merton created for
me. I decided to support the T S Eliot Theatre
to help Merton continue to provide state of the
art facilities as well as to offer a world-class
education and to ensure that future generations
have the same wonderful experience of the
College that I had.

THANK YOU
The Warden
The 750th Anniversary
Campaign continues to gain
momentum and I am
delighted to be able to tell
you that by the end of
the last financial year (31st
July 2012) we had raised
£20.4 million towards our
£30 million target. Work
continues to bring in new,
ever-vital donations, without
which the College would not
have been able to support
projects such as the T S Eliot
Theatre, which now acts as a superb resource for students, as well
as a source of income for Merton. The net income from
conferences in 2011-12 reached an all-time high of £693,180,
showing a 120% increase on net income since the
T S Eliot Theatre opened in 2010 and, in turn, helps to build a
more financially secure future for the College.
as the new Finance Bursar and has replaced Cliff Webb who, as
many of you will know, retired in the autumn. Charles was
educated at Oxford and Harvard and has an excellent record
working in strategy consulting and banking in London, India
and Hong Kong. I am very pleased to welcome him to the team
and am confident that, together, we shall continue to ensure a
financially secure future for Merton College.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, I should like to express
my sincere gratitude to each and every one of you who donated
to the College during the 2011-12 academic year. This Donor
Report is tribute to your support and inside you will be able to
see some examples of the difference that your donations have
made and continue to make. Without your help we would not
have been able to offer such generous support to our
undergraduates and graduates, providing in 2011-12 over
£500,000 worth of scholarships, prizes and grants and £239,321
of bursaries and hardship awards.
I hope that you will find this report an enlightening and
inspiring read.
Now one term in to the academic year 2012-13, I should like
to take this opportunity to welcome an important new member
to our team here at Merton: Charles Alexander. Charles joins us
Professor Sir Martin Taylor
MCR President
JCR President
Your support helps to
ensure
the
excellent
conditions that Merton
provides for its graduates: a
welcoming and friendly
environment, a vibrant
academic exchange between
graduates and the SCR, as
well as superb food and a
fitness gym. The MCR
would not be as active, nor
as well-renowned across
the University of Oxford,
without your help. Thanks
to your donations Merton is able to offer its graduates research
grants and some graduate scholarships. These scholarships and
grants provide excellent opportunities for Merton graduates to
progress with their research and are highly valued by the MCR.
Your kindness and generosity are very much appreciated.
Thank you.
On behalf of the JCR, I
would like to thank everyone
who donated to Merton last
year. The money that you
have given has a direct
impact on the undergraduate
experience at Merton.
Christophe Snoeck, MCR President
Students continue to
benefit from the hardship
grants, as well as the
generous student support
grants and the much
appreciated tutorial system.
We really appreciate your commitment to the College
– thank you!

Merton College Donor Report
Despite the difficult economic background, Mertonians
and Friends of the College have continued to demonstrate
their generosity.
COLLEGE FINANCES
Income grew to £11.2
million for the year 2011-12.
Income from all sources, other
than legacies and donations,
was up £0.6 million from the
previous year, largely due to
increases
in
conference
and endowment income.
Expenditure at Merton in
2011-12 was £10.3 million, a
decrease of £0.2 million from
the previous year as the College
achieved cost savings across its
activities. At the end of the
financial year 2011-12, the College reported a surplus of
£0.9 million. However, this surplus would have been eliminated,
and a deficit of about £0.5 million would have been recorded, were
it not for the many generous donations received during the year.
Merton received in excess of £3.5 million in donations from
Alumni and Friends of the College, as well as from Trusts,
Foundations and Grants in the 2011-12 financial year. £1.5 million
was donated towards endowments, including Student Support, the
Classics Fellowship, the Chemistry Fellowship, the Philosophy
Fellowship, the Mark Reynolds History Fellowship, the English
Fellowship and the Choral Foundation.
Over the past five years £2.6 million has been received for
building projects. These donations have enabled the College to
build the T S Eliot Theatre and the Fitness Room, install new
lighting in the Upper Library and Chapel, and refurbish the
Merton Street Lodge and residential sets in Fellows Quad.
The Unrestricted Fund, which allows the College to allocate
funds as needed, benefited from nearly £1.4 million of legacies and
donations last year.
Over the five years up to 2011-12, the College has received
£19 million in donations from all sources. Despite the difficult
economic background, Mertonians and Friends of the College have
continued to demonstrate their generosity, which has enabled
Merton to plan for the £30 million target for its 750th Anniversary
Campaign, Sustaining Excellence.
The College endowment grew by £5.7 million in 2011-12. In
the five years leading up to 2011-12, the endowment has increased
by £36.3 million, including donated endowments of £11.5 million.
Merton has also enjoyed solid investment returns, with a return
of 5.2% for 2011-12 and average returns of 6.4% compared with
the benchmark of 4.7% for the past five years.

Merton College Donor Report
FROM THE DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
As I write this at the end of
2012, we have just passed the
£23 million mark in Merton’s
750th Anniversary Campaign,
Sustaining Excellence, which
was launched at Drapers’ Hall
in May 2011, with £15.75
million achieved by the time
of the public launch.
By the end of July 2012,
which is the end of the
reporting period of this Donor
Report, £21 million had been
raised. The results in each of the three categories of the Campaign
are:
• Guaranteeing the Tutorial System: £10 million towards our
£15 million target
• Supporting Students: £3.3 million towards our £8 million target
• Protecting and Resourcing our Historic Buildings: £5.2 million
had been raised towards our £7 million target.
Three of the most heartening aspects of Merton’s fundraising in
the 2011-12 year have been within the Annual Fund (gifts received
of under £25,000). Firstly, the College received an impressive
£850,000 of Annual Fund gifts – the largest total in any one year
to date. Secondly, Merton’s participation rate increased from 19.5%
to a heartening 24%, bringing us substantially nearer our 30%
target for this Campaign. Thirdly, for the very first time, the leaving
undergraduate class decided to undertake a class gift. One-third of
them participated and we are most grateful to last year’s JCR
President Sam Hall and to all the JCR Committee for driving this
forward. It marks a sea change in understanding Merton’s
fundraising and is a most encouraging landmark for the future.
In addition to the Annual Fund gifts, we have been working this
past year on endowing a number of fellowships. They centre on
securing the tutorial system, which may justly claim to be the preeminent undergraduate education experience in the world.
However, it is an expensive system, and its future is under threat
in the face of significant government cuts, particularly in the
Humanities and Social Sciences. Progress has been made with
fundraising for fellowships in Economics, Philosophy, English and
with the Jessica Rawson Fellowship in Modern Asian History, but
we still have a long way to go to complete these vital appeals. We
are working on two of these – Philosophy and English – with the
University’s Teaching Fund, and the time frame for securing this
money draws nearer. Following four substantial lead gifts, the
6
Courtenay Phillips Chemistry Appeal was launched world-wide at
a dinner for all Chemists on Saturday 21st April, and by the end
of July 2012 had reached £594,000 towards its goal of £850,000.
As we look forward to the next two years of Merton’s 750th
Anniversary Campaign, we shall concentrate not only on securing
these fellowships, but also on raising money for our students –
both undergraduates and graduates. Two remarkable challenges
have been announced recently to encourage the fundraising for
these groups. The Moritz-Heyman £25 million gift for Oxford
University’s most needy undergraduate students has received
major press coverage. The £25 million will eventually become a
staggering £75 million gift from Moritz-Heyman, once the
Collegiate University has completed its fundraising challenge. You
can read more about this challenge on page 12. Merton has two
funds from which donations received since July 2012 count
towards leveraging the next tranche of the Moritz-Heyman
money: Access and Student Support. Our own target for these two
vital areas is a further £2 million in this Anniversary Campaign.
Money for Merton College’s Access and Schools Liaison work will
help to pay for our work with schools and students who are
currently under-represented at Oxford, and gifts to the Student
Support Fund will fund Merton’s share of the Oxford Opportunity
Bursaries, as well as hardship. Secondly, Merton has established a
strong reputation for attracting some of the best graduate students
from across the world, and graduate scholarships provided by
Merton’s generous donors have helped hugely with this, but the
financial offering that Merton/the University of Oxford gives is
nowhere near that of our American competitors. In autumn 2012
the University announced a new £40 million of matched
funding to attract new funding for graduates. Donations
received for graduate scholarships will be matched 60:40, with a
40% contribution from the University. Predominantly endowment
donations are encouraged, but each college will receive matching
money for up to £225,000 of spend-down gifts per year, which
itself will provide 12 fully funded graduate scholarships at Merton.
It is an immense privilege to be responsible, with the team here
and with our Campaign Boards across the world, for Merton’s
750th Anniversary Campaign. We appreciate those projects that
are already complete, and that are making such a difference to the
lives of our students today – the T S Eliot Theatre, the new Lodge,
the Upper Library lighting, those fellowships that are now fully
funded, additional student support, new graduate scholarships –
and we are hugely grateful for the support of Mertonians and
Friends of the College. We look forward to the challenge of raising
a further £7 million in the next two years and to the excitement of
the anniversary year itself, confident that Walter de Merton would
be proud of his ‘Domus Scholarium’.

ANNUAL FUND 201112
Last year’s Annual Fund, which ran from 1st August 2011 to 31st
July 2012, was one of the most successful for the College in recent
years, exceeding £820,000. This is an enormous achievement and
is an excellent demonstration of Mertonian generosity. Thank you.
1,374 Mertonians from across the world contributed to the
Annual Fund last year. Key to this wide-reaching and high
participation (a subject that we look at in more detail overleaf ) was
the 2011 Merton telethon, during which £160,000 was pledged
and 87.5% (£140,000) fulfilled. The telethon also provided a
superb opportunity for Mertonians past and present to talk about
College life.
see such a broad age range represented – Mertonians present had
matriculated between 1958 and 2010. Please turn to page 17 for
an explanation of our 1264 donation levels.
Lastly, we must thank you again for your most generous response
to our Annual Fund. It is vital that we continue to build on this solid
foundation, which lies at the heart of our fundraising endeavours.
Peter O’Connor, Annual Fund Officer
53.5% of Annual Fund donations last year were unrestricted,
allowing us to allocate them to the area of greatest need for the
College. This is absolutely vital as it enables the College to respond
to the dynamic shift in needs that arise year to year, whether that
be an increased demand for student support or the need to secure
our tutorial system in light of Higher Education funding cuts.
 Society
Our 1264 Society, which recognises those who have made
significant contributions to the Annual Fund, completed its second
year in 2011-12. The membership also increased from 189 in
2010-11 to 239 in 2011-12.
The 1264 Society held its first annual event on 13th October
2012. We were privileged to hear Merton Fellow Kathy Willis,
who holds the Tasso Leventis Chair of Biodiversity, speak on
‘Biodiversity in a warmer world’. The fascinating lecture was
followed by a superb Champagne Afternoon Tea. It was great to
I really appreciated being able to take part in this year’s
telethon. It was amazing to speak to Mertonians all over the
world from Singapore to New York, as well as many closer
to home. I enjoyed learning about what the College was
like in the past, and comparing what I heard with my own
experiences of life here.

Merton College Donor Report
I was the first member of my family to go to university and I was so fortunate that I was guided towards Merton. I shall always
be grateful for the many opportunities the College offered me as an undergraduate and the advantages it gave me in later life.
By contributing towards the support of students I hope I shall be helping others to benefit from their time at
Merton as I did. – Anonymous Donor
PARTICIPATION
Last year, some 1,374 Mertonians made a gift. That equates
to 24% of all Mertonians – our best-ever response to an
Annual Fund Appeal, and a figure that gives us one of the best
participation rates in the University. We owe a record number
of you our grateful thanks.
A high rate of participation is essential to successful College
fundraising. Participation helps build a robust Annual Fund,
helps secure major gifts from trusts and foundations, and assists
us in our endeavour to broaden our engagement with alumni
across the globe, from all walks of life.
The participation rate is found by comparing the number of
unique donors, counted over the course of the year from
1st August to 31st July, to the total number of alumni for
whom we have addresses. Without recurring donations, the
participation rate resets to 0% each year on 1st August, so your
continued involvement is crucial in helping propel us forward.

The inter-collegiate fundraising and participation rate
competition is fierce. The chart opposite, detailing the full
range of Annual Fund participation rates last year, illustrates
the great distance by which two colleges lead the field. They
provide a benchmark for us at Merton, helping ensure that we
set ourselves high targets for the future. As you may know, we
are aiming to achieve a participation rate of at least 30% by
2014. One of the easiest and simplest ways for this to happen
is by encouraging more Mertonians to make regular multi-year
pledges. Recurring gifts like this will lead well into 2014 and
beyond, and provide a firm footing for the future.
Whether large or small, every donation that a Mertonian
makes is most gratefully received and assists the College’s
development. The 2011-12 Annual Fund performed as well as
it did because of the record participation from you all. Once
again, we would like to thank each and every one of you for
your support, and we hope that many more of you will be
inspired to join us for 2012-13.

The generosity of Mertonians and Friends of the College is vital
and continues to be greatly appreciated. By the end of the last
financial year, on 31st July 2012, in addition to the £4,048,802 of
Annual Fund donations raised, major gifts (counted by the
University and College as gifts of £25,000 and upwards) have
contributed a staggering £14,483,591, or 71% towards the 750th
Anniversary Campaign, Sustaining Excellence. It would not be
possible to fulfil the key priorities of the campaign without the
extraordinary response of the College’s major donors: we would not
be in a position to continue to attract the most promising students,
regardless of their financial background; secure the future of the
exceptional tutorial system; invest in the cutting-edge research of
tomorrow; and maintain and develop our buildings to enhance the
academic and cultural experience of life at Merton.
abundance, with continued generosity from the Reed Foundation,
John Kirby (1962) and Dan Seymour (1983).
Mertonians will be aware of the University of Oxford’s collegiate
response to the swingeing cuts to the Humanities, in the form of the
Teaching Fund. We continue to fundraise for two of these Teaching
Fund posts – in English and Philosophy – which will each be matchfunded by £800,000 from the University, provided that the College
first successfully raises £1.2 million per post. Last financial year, we
were fortunate to receive further major gifts from Ian McVeigh (1976)
and an anonymous donor for English; and from Richard Burns
(1964), David Ure (1965) and an anonymous US donor, for
Philosophy. Co-chairs Reg Hall (1954), David Harvey (1957),
Michael Dearden (1961) and Gerry Grimstone (1968) made
impressive lead gifts to Chemistry before the world-wide launch of the
Courtenay Phillips Chemistry Fellowship, ensuring that fundraising
for this vital fellowship continues to be in robust form. We have
received the first generous instalment this year towards the Christine
Blackwell Classics Fellowship from Toby Blackwell. We have also
received a most generous pledge and first instalment from Ed Field
(1986) for the Economics Fellowship, which, with the lead gifts from
Tom Willett (1986), Hugh Scott-Barrett (1977) and Ian Taylor
(1975), will take us closer towards the completion of that fellowship.
Student support remains at the forefront of our benefactors’
minds with Richard Allan (1959 and Bodley Fellow) and an
anonymous donor making significant gifts; Robert Venables (1966)
and Reed Rubin (1957 and Bodley Fellow) have continued their
fantastic provision for the organ and music at Merton; and John
Booth (1976 and Wyliot Fellow) provided vital matched funding for
this year’s telephone campaign.
Several of our generous donors from North America have been
mentioned above but support from across the pond continues in
The College also remains hugely grateful to those Mertonians
who chose to make significant contributions to the Unrestricted
Fund, allowing the College to direct their support to wherever the
need is greatest. Charles Manby (1976 and Wyliot Fellow) and
Hilary Evenett (1982) must be thanked wholeheartedly for their
very generous support in this respect.
In 2011 the College launched its new donor recognition levels and,
following the 2012 Advent Service at Merton, the Warden and Lady
Taylor warmly welcomed the College’s major benefactors into their
home for a festive Advent supper. With Merton student musicians
playing in the background, it was a very special evening; a small but
fitting way to say ‘thank you’ to those of you who continue to give
back to the College in such a remarkable way. We would not be able
to achieve half of the wonderful things that we do without you.
Lauren Kendall, Campaign Officer
The James Buckee Scholars – Lewis Lui, Robert Lasenby
and Alexander Karlberg – continue to benefit from Jim
Buckee’s (1968) ongoing generosity and remarkable vision,
which has enabled a full, annual graduate scholarship in
Physics, and Luuk Huitink, the Leventis Research Fellow in
Ancient Greek, would not be here were it not for the
generous support of the A. G. Leventis Foundation.
As a James Buckee Scholar,
I’m currently pursuing a DPhil in
Theoretical Physics, studying
the
possible
experimental
consequences of physics ‘beyond
the standard model’. Merton has
been a key part of my time at
Oxford so far, both through the
social and intellectual life of the
College, and via financial support
providing a secure foundation for my DPhil studies. All of
this has been made possible by the very generous support
I’ve received from the Buckee Scholarship.

Merton College Donor Report
HOW YOUR DONATIONS HELP
STUDENT SUPPORT AT MERTON
Student support could mean us helping with the expense of some books or taking a student to hospital in an emergency. It might
be a bursary to some, or a vital loan to others. Or it could simply be a welcome chat and cup of tea with the Chaplain, Simon Jones.
What makes Merton College’s Student Support Fund so important is the security it offers our undergraduate and
graduate students. Whatever personal hardship or financial crisis our students face, they will be financially supported through it,
thanks to the kindness and generosity of Mertonians who have come before them. In 2011-12 your donations added £90,000 to the
College’s Student Support Fund. This ensured that grants, funds, prizes and other financial assistance could be given to those who
are especially in need.
Bowman Fund
The Thomas Bowman Fund is intended to assist members of
the College who are in need. The Bowman Fund supported
 individuals in 2011-12.
The support which I received from the Bowman Fund
was indispensable in allowing me to continue the pursuit of
my studies despite the challenges I faced outside of academia.
The grant I received reassured me that I didn’t need to choose
between academic success and my personal obligations which
took me away from the College for extended periods of time.
The robust welfare infrastructure available at Merton is a
great asset and I am truly grateful for the timely assistance
which was provided to me. I am now proud to work as a
member of the Merton welfare team, to help other students
gain access to the resources they require to continue on their
path towards academic excellence. I would like to thank donors
for their extremely generous patronage. Thank you!
Kyle J. Martin (Junior Dean) – Bowman Fund
Simms Grants
These grants are awarded to assist graduates in the completion of
their theses, if they encounter difficulties or delays beyond those
normally expected. In assessing requests, the Student Support
Committee takes into account the quality of applicants’ work and
the unforeseen circumstances that make the extra time or expense
necessary. Simms Grants supported  graduates in
2011-12.

Support from the College via the Simms Fund has
resulted in the publication of my research in Science magazine
and the filing of three patents for the University. During
my DPhil in Condensed Matter Physics I made a
breakthrough in my research on solar energy. Unfortunately,
the breakthrough came at a very late stage of my research
programme so I was close to running out of funding. I’m very
grateful that the College was able to support me during this
difficult time so I could focus purely on academic matters.
Without these donations, which enabled my funding,
the quality of my research would almost certainly
be diminished.

Simms Grants are named as such in honour of the generous contributions made to this bursary by the Simms family, via MC3
Master Grants
Travel Grants
Master Grants fund worthy causes that are not eligible for other
forms of financial support. This includes awards given to enable
undergraduates to participate in charitable work during the
summer vacation. Master Grants supported

undergraduates and postgraduates in 2011-12.
The College makes a limited number of grants available to
undergraduates (for educational trips) and to graduates (who
spend extended periods away from the College in any academic
year). Travel Grants supported  undergraduates
and  graduates in 2011-12.
Over the summer, I travelled to Kolkata, India. I spent
time volunteering with the Missionaries of Charity, an order of
nuns who devote their lives to serving the poorest of the poor.
It was a truly eye-opening experience, which will no doubt
remain with me for the rest of my life. I am very grateful for the
Master Grant I received, which made my trip possible.
Jessica Odone – Master Grant
The
Undergraduate
Travel Grant that I received
enabled my trip to Hong
Kong to shadow a High Court
judge this summer. The
experience I gained from
watching cases, writing draft
judgments
and
talking
them through with Mr Justice
Reyes was invaluable. It’s
almost impossible to be
accepted to shadow a judge in
England so the trip was one of the few ways to do this in
a court system similar to ours, as well as being a crash
course in comparative Hong Kong/English law. I wouldn’t
have been able to go without the grant and I’m incredibly
grateful to College and to everyone who has donated to
the College, for enabling this trip.

Graduate Research Grants
Graduate Reasearch Grants are awarded to cover expenses
incurred during research, over and above what would normally be
expected. Graduate Research Grants supported 
graduates in 2011-12.
Whilst I had received
a scholarship from the
Council for British Research
in the Levant to cover my
tuition fees to attend a twomonth Arabic summer
school in Jordan, the
Graduate Research Grant
awarded to me by Merton
was crucial in allowing me
to take up the offer. My
time spent in Jordan
studying proved to be very useful to my current research on the
Crusades and, since returning to the UK, I have been able to
access vital sources written in medieval Arabic, which are of
great relevance to my research. In addition to this, my time in
Jordan allowed me to visit some important archaeological sites,
which were invaluable to my research.

Hardship Grants and Loans
The Hardship Fund provides support to students from low
income backgrounds, whose personal or parental financial
circumstances have changed, who have suffered illness or injury, or
who require assistance to complete their studies beyond the
expected time frame of their course.
Other welfare funds helped many more students and scholars,
in other ways over the course of 2011-12.

Merton College Donor Report
It is our utmost priority that the rise in University tuition
fees does not discourage the most talented students from coming
to study at Oxford.
THE NEW FEE REGIME
Undergraduate bursaries and
fee reductions
NEWS: Moritz-Heyman Scholarship
Fund – Matching Challenge
As tuition fees continue to rise, Merton will remain dedicated to
recruiting the most promising students, regardless of background.
Alumni support is vital to enable the College to achieve this.
“I would not be here today if it were not for the generosity of
strangers” – Michael Moritz
Students who matriculated in 2012 are the first intake to feel the
effects of the Government’s major changes to the funding landscape
and, as a result, are paying the increased tuition fees of £9,000/year.
Tuition fees will not have to be paid in advance – they, and a
proportion of living costs, can be covered by a student loan. This
loan will be managed differently from many other forms of debt,
since repayments will be made as a proportion of the graduate’s
income. However, it is Merton’s and the University of Oxford’s
utmost priority that the rise in University tuition fees does not
discourage the most talented students from coming to study at
Oxford. Therefore Oxford University has committed to providing
the most generous and comprehensive package of bursaries and fee
waivers in the UK. Colleges and the University are joining together
to provide this generous bursary and fee waiver support.
Bursaries and fee reductions are offered on a sliding scale to
students whose family income is below £42,601, ensuring that
support is available for those who need it most.
This year, as a result of your support, we have been able to offer
8% of the 2012 intake of Merton undergraduate students reduced
tuition fees and 25% of all undergraduates a bursary, to go towards
their living and studying costs.

In what has been named the greatest act of philanthropy
Oxford University has ever seen, billionaire and Oxford
University alumnus, Michael Moritz, and his wife, Harriet
Heyman, have pledged £75 million to set up a Scholarship Fund
for students from the lowest-income backgrounds and most
under-represented areas. They have, in the first instance, donated
£25 million, but this is the first of three Moritz-Heyman
donations, each of £25 million. Each release is ‘matched’ by a
notional £25 million of University endowment, and the further
two tranches are each conditional on the Collegiate University
meeting the challenge of raising £50 million in new money for
‘disadvantaged’ undergraduates.
The University and Colleges are challenged to raise
£150 million in total, in three stages, towards the scheme. Only
certain types of funds raised count towards the scheme and only
those raised since the beginning of July 2012 are eligible.
Merton is focusing its fundraising efforts in two areas that
qualify for meeting the Moritz-Heyman Challenge, namely
fundraising for Access (counts at 100% towards the scheme)
and fundraising for Student Support (which counts at 50%).
Both these funds work together to ensure needs-blind
admissions to Merton.
GRADUATE SCHOLARSHIPS
New Matching Fund opportunity
A flourishing academic community, with research at the heart,
remains a source of pride at Merton. The College offers a number
of graduate scholarships, several of which are directly supported by
Mertonians. These scholarships aid Merton’s commitment to being
at the cutting edge of research and teaching across a wide spectrum
of academic fields. Some £181,784 of graduate scholarship money
was available in 2011-12.
Oxford University is putting £40 million into the Oxford
Graduate Scholarship Fund to attract £60 million of additional
funding for graduate scholarships.
To secure full funding for graduate students, the University of
Oxford has launched a new Graduate Scholarship Matched Fund.
This unique fundraising opportunity allows donors to maximise
the potential of their gift by matching this with University funds,
on a ratio of 60:40, substantially increasing the value and impact
of their gift.
The ability to study at Oxford should not depend on a student’s
personal financial means, but on their academic ability. Access to a
graduate education is more important than ever, given its potential
to enhance career prospects outside academia as well as within, and
its necessity for entering a number of the top professions. There is
fierce global competition to attract today’s internationally mobile
top students, and the availability of scholarship funding is key both
to encouraging these students to apply to Oxford and to take up
their places. Traditional funding sources for graduate scholarships
– from funding councils and research councils – are in decline due
to Government cuts. Many prospective graduate students find
themselves with no means of government loan or grant support to
cover the cost of their studies and so must rely on a heavily
oversubscribed and limited pool of scholarship schemes.
Time-limited opportunity
The University has designated £40 million for the Matched
Fund, which will be held within the Oxford University
Development Trust, and will be available to match with donor
funding for a period of five years, until July 2017. Scholarships
may be endowed in a particular academic division or in a college.
Merton’s own aim, as part of its 750th Anniversary Campaign, is
to raise a further £2.6 million for graduate scholarships. The
annual maximum ‘spend-down’ target permitted per college under
the matching scheme is £225,000, which will produce 12
additional graduate scholarships per year for the next two years.
This will leave a further £2.15 million as the target for endowing
graduate scholarships under the University matching scheme, or
four full graduate scholarships.
As a grateful recipient of the
Merton Lawyers’ Scholarship, I would like
to thank Merton for its generous support
towards my graduate studies. The
scholarship has helped ease my financial
pressure significantly and allowed me to
fulfill my dream of reading for the BCL.
Thank you.
Juliana Widjaja – BCL Law Scholar
I was thrilled to be awarded the
Jackson Scholarship and am so very
grateful to the College for funding my
DPhil. This scholarship has allowed me to
pursue research on the evolutionary
processes that shape the population
structures of bacteria, such as the effects of
vaccination. The warm, welcoming
atmosphere of the college with its intellectually stimulating
environment and supportive members of staff has made my
time at Merton wonderful.
Eleanor Watkins – Jackson Scholar
I consider myself incredibly
fortunate to be given the opportunity and
funding to undertake my graduate studies
in the laboratory of my choice. Scientific
progress requires that people with diverse
backgrounds and passionate minds come
together to work in a common laboratory
setting. A large portion of scientific
research is conducted by graduate students and the scientific
community certainly benefits when the right kind of student
finds the right kind of environment to work in. I have thoroughly
enjoyed working in this laboratory and I have flourished as an
academic during my time here. Suffice to say, both my supervisor
and I are sincerely and immensely grateful to all the donors that
made such an opportunity possible for me.
Zahid Padamsey – Domus A/Clarendon Scholar
The Domus B Scholarship has
given me the invaluable opportunity to
undertake original research aimed at the
identification of the risk factors driving
the onset of the complex neurological
disease multiple sclerosis. I will always be
grateful to the outstanding generosity of
the donors that made this possible.

Merton College Donor Report
HOW TO GIVE TO THE COLLEGE
Every donation that we receive for the Annual Fund is invaluable.
Regular Gifts or Single Donations
Recurring gifts provide the College with regular income, enabling
us to plan ahead and use gifts more effectively. Direct debits can be
made monthly, quarterly or annually and for any length of time.
Single donations can be made via most debit and credit
cards or by cheque. Please make your cheque payable to
‘Merton College’. We also welcome CAF cheques.
Giving from Abroad
Tax-efficient giving from a number of countries is now possible.
Please visit the Alumni & Friends section of the Merton website or
contact the Development Office for more details. Mertonians who
are US taxpayers can make fully tax-effective gifts via MC3 (the
Merton College Charitable Corporation).
Gifts of Shares
These are particularly beneficial to donors, as they are free of both
Income and Capital Gains Tax. Do not hesitate to contact the
Development Office for more information.
How to Maximise Your Gift to Merton
If you are a taxpayer, Merton can claim an extra 25p for every
pound donated under the Government’s Gift Aid Scheme.
All you need do is sign the Gift Aid section of the donation form
when making a donation.
Top-rate taxpayers can give even more effectively. For a donation
of £80, the College can claim an extra £20 as Gift Aid and you can
claim back £30 from HMRC. A gift of £100 to the College will cost
you just £50.
Don’t Forget…
In April 2013 the top band of tax will go down from 50% to 45%.
This will affect all top-rate taxpayers when making charitable
donations. If you are a top-rate taxpayer, as well as claiming Gift Aid,
you can currently claim back tax from HMRC on any donations you
make. However, from April 2013, the tax that you are able to claim
back will be reduced, increasing the after-tax cost of your gifts.
If you have any questions about how to give to the College,
please don’t hesitate to contact the Development Office.

Gifts in your Will
A legacy is a gift that nearly everyone can make and it offers a
unique opportunity to make a huge impact. Most gifts made to the
College are unrestricted, which will allow application of the funds as
needed in the future; however, gifts can be made for a specific
purpose (e.g. naming and endowing a scholarship, fellowship or
bursary fund). We particularly welcome gifts of the residue or
specified proportion of an estate, as the value of this type of bequest
is not affected by inflation.
Please be assured that no gift is too small and whatever you give
will help shape the future of Merton and its continued commitment
to excellence.
inheritance tax
Merton College is a registered charity and is therefore exempt
from Inheritance Tax. This means that any bequest you make to the
College will be deducted from your estate before it is assessed for
Inheritance Tax in the UK. Including charitable donations in your
Will can also reduce the Inheritance Tax liability of your loved ones.
In the last budget the Government announced that Inheritance Tax
will be reduced from 40% to 36% in cases where at least 10% of the
net estate is left to charity.
wording for your will
We strongly recommend that you consult a solicitor when making
or changing your Will. However, a gift made directly to Merton
should be worded in your Will as follows: ‘I give to the Warden and
Scholars of the House or College of Scholars of Merton in the
University of Oxford (hereinafter called ‘the College’) (£X / X% of
my estate) free of tax, such to be applied to the general purposes of
the College towards the promotion of its object, and I direct that the
receipt of the Bursar or other authorised officer for the time being of
the College shall be a good and sufficient discharge to my executors
for the payment of the aforesaid legacy.’
For further information on Legacies and Bequests, please contact
the Development Office.
