Fundraising

At the University of Leicester, philanthropy has driven impact for nearly 100 years. We are one of only two universities in the world to be founded as a living memorial to those who served and lost their lives in the First World War. Without philanthropy we would not be here and thus we are uniquely aware of the impact philanthropy has on our students, infrastructure, research excellence, community and society.

We are responsible for working with our donors and supporters, encouraging and stewarding philanthropic gifts of all sizes for the benefit of the University.
