The impact of your support Thank you
This report covers the period August 2019 to July 2020.
Alumni and friends of Mansfield have made numerous and important donations to our College this year. Your support has proved more vital than ever as we faced the challenges of the Covid-19 crisis.
From the generous philanthropists in our community making transformational major gifts and joining us as Bancroft Fellows;
to alumni supporting their subject or passion at College; to those making a regular donation, so valuable in helping us plan ahead; to the wonderful alumni who choose to remember College in their will – we thank you all deeply for your kindness and generosity.
With your support, we can ensure that Mansfield continues to provide an exceptional academic experience at Oxford within a diverse, inclusive and welcoming scholarly community.
On behalf of the students here, and all at Mansfield, thank you again for your generosity in 2020. I hope you know how much it is valued, and that every donation is put to good use at your College.

Mansfield Matters Fund: where the need is greatest
£117,783
Unrestricted gifts to the Mansfield Matters Fund offer College
the ability to address unexpected challenges, and in 2020 we have faced challenges like never before. This year we have drawn on the Mansfield Matters Fund to invest in outside spaces so students could continue to socialise through a British winter, technology to support online teaching, and other vital projects that have helped ensure students’ Oxford experience has not been unduly marred by Covid. In 2019/20 we received the highest figure to this fund for five years.
