Harvard Business School Foundation of Germany
A gemeinnützige Körperschaft (tax exempt organization), the principal purpose of which is to provide scholarships for German students in need to attend HBS. Gifts can also be made for the benefit of HBS.
Alumni who reside in Germany can deduct the full amount of a contribution to the Foundation from his or her gross income. Since the marginal tax rate is approximately 50%, this means that basically half of the contribution is “paid” by the tax authorities.

The British Friends
-
The British Friends is a British registered charity, the principal purpose of which is to provide scholarships for British students in need to attend HBS. Gifts can also be made for the benefit of HBS.
All donations are deductible against UK tax whether or not one is a British national, providing the donor pays UK taxes under either the Gift Aid Scheme or company payroll giving schemes. The tax authority adds a further 10% to payroll giving donations. The only requirement is that the donor pays sufficient UK tax, either income tax or capital gains tax, to cover the tax on the contribution.
