We know that everyone’s circumstances differ. That’s why we have three clear, complementary donation channels, so you can choose the one that works for you.
If you would like to talk more about maximising the impact of your donation just get in touch; we would be happy to discuss.
Every donation is handled with care. The 1876 Trust works closely with the club to ensure that all donations are used wisely, strategically, and transparently, with long-term impact in mind.
Keep OUCCC moving: Make a regular monthly donation to offset the rising annual costs – from training to travel – and keep our sport inclusive and affordable.
Gifts to our general fund will be given to the club committee for them to direct the money towards the area of greatest need, such as coaching and reducing costs of attending races.
Fund something tangible: If you prefer something concrete, choose to support a specific cost.
We have provided some examples below but should you think of anything you would like to help with then please do get in touch:
Build our endowment: Help secure OUCCC’s long-term future by contributing to our 1876 Endowment Fund, helping to underpin the club’s activity for generations to come.

In 2024, on the recommendation of the outgoing and previous OUCCC Club Captains (Jared Martin and Thomas Renshaw), The 1876 Trust and OUCCC Committee implemented the Student Regular Giving Programme. This aims to build the income stream needed to replace the Club's lost sponsorship income and contribute to the 150th Anniversary Campaign endowment fund.
Members at the beginning of their final year in OUCCC are asked to contribute a minimum of £15 per quarter via the Student Regular Giving Programme, for three years. It is our hope that we will have 20 regular student givers each year over the coming three years leading up to the Club's 150th Anniversary.
Those who contribute don't have to pay membership subs to OUCCC in their final year.
All supporters who have donated are recognised on this website and in our monthly newsletter.
Those who over their lifetime have donated over £1876 will be recognised forever on a physical honour board at Iffley Road.
Other plans to demonstrate our gratitude to our supporters include bespoke mementos and free events all of which will be developed over The Anniversary Campaign.
If you would like to discuss making a transformational gift, or leaving a legacy gift in your will, please get in touch with us.
Donating to The 1876 Trust
Gift Aid is a government scheme which lets us claim an extra 25% on everything you give at no extra cost to you.
It does not cost you anything extra to sign up to Gift Aid. This is because, as a UK taxpayer, you have already paid tax on the money you’re donating.
All you need to do is make a Gift Aid declaration by ticking the box when donating. Please tick the box!
