If you aren’t yet a part of our donor community, we invite you to take the first step. Every contribution helps us serve the world's most pressing needs now and for generations to come.
Our donor community is made up of nearly 220,000 alumni, supporters and friends of the university, who collectively make an enormous difference to life-changing projects every year.
But why does a public university need private support?
Philanthropic support provides vital funds to enable King’s to invest in new ground-breaking research, improve social mobility by widening access to degree study, helping bright students to change their lives forever. Through it, we are also building world class facilities, enabling us to provide the best learning environments and care to our communities.
