The Douglas Price Society
The Douglas Price Society enables Keble to acknowledge all those who have made a commitment to support the College in their will.
During the year legacies totalling £176,950 were received from:
Over the last six years Keble has received £1.48 million from legacies
As we approach 2020, Keble’s 150th anniversary, we both remain conscious of how much we owe those who came before us. It was largely their generosity that made our years at Keble possible, and enables the College to continue its inclusive ethos that makes such a contribution to social mobility.
The Douglas Price Society gives us an opportunity to repay this debt to generations in the future, which
is why we are supporting Keble in our wills. It is no exaggeration to say that legacies are the foundation of Keble’s next 150 years so we would like to ask you to think about joining us.
The Society holds an annual event in College which takes the form of a lecture and dinner in Hall on
the last Friday in September. If you are interested
in joining the Douglas Price Society, you are very welcome to come along and you can book in via
the College website. The Alumni and Development Office is always available to discuss how to go about including Keble in your will and the related tax benefits.
Philanthropy plays an ever increasing role in
higher education. To date, more than half of all
Old Members have supported the College with an increasing number making bequests and we hope you might consider a legacy gift appropriate. As one Society member says, “Keble will make my legacy work hard for future members.” We hope you will join him and us in that endeavour.

The Talbot Society
In 2013 the College launched the Talbot Society to recognise and thank all those who make a regular contribution to Keble, regardless of the amount. Members of the Talbot Society receive an invitation to join the Douglas Price Society annual lecture and dinner. In 2014/15 all members will also receive a Keble calendar featuring photographs taken by Keble students.
All leaving students who make a gift to Keble become Honorary Talbot Society members and receive a foam KEBLE brick. Alumni making a regular donation receive a red or blue brick pin depending on their age. Any donor who gives continuously for 10 years or more becomes a Keble Dinosaur and receives the highly prized dinosaur pin! If you don’t know the story of the Keble dinosaur refer to the 2013 edition of the Review.
