The Nonesuch Rowing Foundation (NRF) is the independent charity that directly supports UBBC by issuing grants to the club and its members. This is made possible by the generous donations of almost 150 regular donors. Your philanthropy has had a huge effect on UBBC and continues to make a real difference to each of its members.
The UBBC Alumni committee are determined to build on this hard work to ensure that UBBC remains one of the premier student rowing clubs in the UK. With this in mind, this year we are launching one of our most significant fundraising initiatives so far.
The committee and the trustees of the NRF have agreed three fundraising goals:
1. Increase our number of regular donors to 200 (currently 147);
2. Increase our average monthly donation amount to £10.00 (currently £7.37);
3. Ensure 100% of eligible regular donors contribute gift aid (currently 43%).
Achieving these goals will more than double the income that the foundation receives, which will vastly increase the support we can provide to UBBC.
To achieve this we have made the process of gift aiding or increasing donations as simple as possible. Each new donor will receive a Nonesuch flower pin badge, and all ‘1909 Club’ donors (those donating £19.09 or more per month) will also receive a special enamelled Nonesuch blazer tag as a thank you gift.
For more information about this fundraising initiative, and for other ways to donate, please visit the NRF page on the UBBC Alumni website.
Thank you for your continued support.
