Leaving your legacy

Through the centuries, gifts in wills have played a vital part in Oxford’s success. Many of Oxford’s colleges were founded through generous legacies and almost every part of the collegiate University has benefited from gifts in the wills of alumni, friends and supporters.

Giving to a college

The collegiate system is at the heart of the University of Oxford’s success, giving students and academics the benefits of belonging both to a large, internationally-renowned institution and to a small, interdisciplinary academic community.

About giving to Oxford

The University of Oxford Development and Alumni Engagement Office raises funds in support of the University’s academic priorities. We collaborate with colleagues across the collegiate University to secure donations for all aspects of academic and student endeavour.

The generosity of donors helps us to ensure that the most talented students can study here regardless of background, that our research provides benefit on an international scale, and that our expertise is brought to bear on some of the world’s biggest challenges.
