Fundraising

Discover the difference your support makes

The University of Exeter was founded on the generosity of its supporters. Every gift, no matter the size, helps our students, funds ground-breaking research, and develops our campuses. This tradition of giving maintains Exeter as a world-class University and builds for the future.

How we recognise and steward your support

We're transparent about impact. You have the right to know your gift is being used in line with your wishes, invested appropriately, and making a real difference to our mission.

Recognition that matters to you. Unless you prefer anonymity, we publicly recognise donors through publications, our website and events. We also offer various donor recognition groups for those who have pledged to leave a gift in their Will in support of the University, and for those supporting us with gifts of £1,000 or more. We invite our most generous donors to become members of the College of Benefactors.

Naming opportunities are available for exceptional contributions, allowing buildings, scholarships, academic prizes or facilities to be named in honour of individuals, trusts or organisations. Find out more in our Donor Relations Policy.

Transformational gifts

We are deeply grateful to the individuals, companies, and charitable Trusts and Foundations whose vision and generosity make a lasting difference to our students, researchers and wider communities.

Whether you wish to support a pioneering area of research, create new opportunities through scholarships, or fund a project close to your heart, our team would be delighted to help you make a meaningful impact.
