How you can contribute

Online giving

The University’s Office for Development and Alumni Relations (CUDAR) has made it easier to make donations online to the Department and to two of our special programmes. If you wish to make a donation to the Department, please go to: campaign.cam.ac.uk/giving/physics

If you wish to support the graduate student programme, please go to: campaign.cam.ac.uk/giving/physics/graduate-support

If you wish to support our outreach activities, please go to: campaign.cam.ac.uk/giving/physics/outreach

If you would like your gift to be applied to some other specific aspect of the Development Programme, please contact the Head of Department.

A gift in your will

One very effective way of contributing to the long- term development of the Laboratory’s programme is through the provision of a legacy in one’s will. This has the beneficial effect that legacies are exempt from tax and so reduce liability for inheritance tax. The University provides advice about how legacies can be written into one’s will. Go to: campaign.cam.ac.uk/how-to-give and at the bottom of the page there is a pdf file entitled A Gift in Your Will.

It is important that, if you wish to support the Cavendish, or some specific aspect of our development programme, your intentions should be spelled out explicitly in your will. We can suggest suitable forms of words to match your intentions. Please contact Samantha Stokes (departmental.administrator@phy.cam.ac.uk) who can provide confidential advice.

If you would like to discuss how you might contribute to the Cavendish’s Development Programme, please contact Mete Atatüre (hod@ phy.cam.ac.uk), who will be very pleased to talk to you confidentially.
