Frequently asked questions

This Giving Day (12 - 13 November 2025), we are inviting Mansfield's alumni, friends, and supporters to become part of a once-in-a-century transformation - right from the start.

Below are some answers to a selection of Frequently Asked Questions - if there is anything more you would like to discuss please write to us at development@mansfield.ox.ac.uk

Where will my gift go?

You can choose where your gift is directed. On this platform, you can choose between making an unrestricted gift to the For Mansfield. Forever. campaign, or specifically to the Estate Transformation Project (ETP). If you would like to direct your gift to another priority area at Mansfield, please contact us at development@mansfield.ox.ac.uk

Is my payment secure?

Yes. All payments through the mansfield.hubbub.net platform will be securely processed by Stripe and Stripe US.

Why is my payment not going through?

Please check that you have included your postcode/zip code in both the address field and the card details field of the gift form.

If there is still a problem you may have to contact your card provider and inform them that the payment is valid. For any queries please contact us at development@mansfield.ox.ac.uk

Can I see my gift on this website?

Yes! If you’ve chosen not to make your gift anonymous, you can take a look at the Donor Wall where you will see your gift listed alongside all the other Mansfielders who have made gifts today!

Is there another way to donate to you other than online?

Yes, you can contact us at development@mansfield.ox.ac.uk and we’ll be delighted to help you make your gift - by post, bank transfer, or by phone.

Is there a minimum donation?

Yes, there is a £5 minimum donation through this platform. If you would like to make a gift of less than £5, we are enormously grateful for your support and you can make a gift of at least £3 via www.mansfield.ox.ac.uk/gift

How can I give tax-efficiently?

If you are donating from the US, you can make your gift via Americans for Oxford (AFO), the University's primary charitable organization in the United States, through this platform. AFO is an independent 501(c)(3) tax-exempt entity recognized by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, which accepts gifts to benefit the University, its colleges, and related institutions.
