Supporting Oxford's future

For more than nine centuries, the University of Oxford has advanced knowledge, fostered discovery and educated leaders who have shaped the world. Today, philanthropy continues to play a vital role in supporting Oxford’s teaching, research and public engagement activities.

The generosity of donors helps Oxford attract exceptional students, advance groundbreaking research, preserve and enhance its libraries, museums and gardens, and address some of society’s most pressing challenges. This impact is felt in Oxford and around the world.
