Building on the success of several years, the Development team, assisted by enthusiastic volunteers, is now focused on the College’s 450th Anniversary in 2021, and has set the ambitious target of raising £45m to further the College’s academic and related objectives and plans.
Two recent developments have in uenced our fundraising priorities:
The newly approved academic strategy sets the priorities for the College that require support in order to be delivered.Alongside our continued support for undergraduate bursaries, we will strive to provide more nancial support for postgraduates in all academic disciplines; for Tutorial, Junior Research and Career Development Fellowships; and
The generous pledge towards the Northgate House project will allow the College to develop further its plans to use this site as
a means of enhancing its existing academic and accommodation facilities in line with the academic strategy.The Development team will seek further support to build on this lead gift in order to deliver this major capital oppor tunity.
In order to achieve our fundraising goals, we will look to:
Attract support from non-alumni and
alumni with a bold vision of the College’s aims in the next ve years, including a major redevelopment of Northgate House;
Raise the public pro le of the College
and of Fellows’ research via a media and communications strategy.This will focus on the College as a centre of innovation and entrepreneurship and include important contributions from our alumni ; and
Increase engagement of Fellows in campaign activities by presenting events and attracting potential donors through their own networks.
