Supporting Birkbeck

Philanthropic gifts help to ensure Birkbeck remains a world-class research and teaching institution that continues to attract students without traditional qualifications and helps them benefit fully from their studies.

The importance of philanthropic donations remains as important now as it was in 1823 when George Birkbeck and his contemporaries contributed first donations towards setting up Birkbeck's forbear the London Mechanic's Institute. Without these contributions, Birkbeck as we know it today may never have existed.

The support from alumni, friends, charitable trust and corporate sponsorship remains vital in giving students the opportunity to undertake life-changing courses at Birkbeck.  Donations are directed towards our fundraising priorities, such as improved services and facilities, scholarships, teaching and research or new building developments.

Support for the College can range from small donations to the Alumni Fund to large donations. All donations are valued by the College, however much you can give. The most important thing is that we can count on your support.
