...Participate in Manchester
There has never been a better time to participate in Manchester with the UK Government Matched Funding Scheme. This means gifts of all levels have a greater impact than ever before, adding 33% to the value of your gift.
Your gift's value could even be increased by up to 166%!
...Make an Impact
Research Impact Scholarships encourage final year Manchester undergraduates, and recent graduates, to join top-quality research teams in seeking to solve some of the most challenging problems we face today - from poverty and cancer through to global warming and debilating medical conditions. Opening up these research opportunities benefits the students themselves, the University, and more importantly society at large - they are a direct form of investment in all of our futures.
To date, donors have funded twenty eight students over three academic years and the first Research Impact Scholars supported by Your Manchester Fund will be graduating in 2009.
To meet some of the students currently benefitting or to see the impact of your gift first hand please go to Your Manchester Fund

Government Matched Funding Scheme
- The UK government has launched a program to encourage gifts from alumni and others to support English Higher Education institutions, known as the Matched Funding Scheme
- The Matched Funding Scheme will add an additional 33% to the value of grants made by NAFUM to The University of Manchester. This means that for every $1 given to NAFUM, the University will receive an additional 33 cents.
- The Government Matched Funding Scheme also applies to matching gifts from Employers (see below)
Employer Matched Giving Scheme
- Many employers will make matching gifts when their staff give to charity, with some companies matching the gift one-to-one, and some even doubling the gift.
- To see if your employer runs an Employer Matched Giving Scheme, contact your Payroll or Personnel department
