In May 2008, the University of Oxford launched the biggest fundraising Campaign in European history, aiming to raise a minimum of £1.25 billion.

Oxford has to build its future in a world of unprecedented change. The challenge is great. Never before has the University’s future been so dependent on the success of a campaign. We need help to secure investment in the next generation, and all those to come.

No institution exists and prospers for more than 800 years unless it is skilled at adapting. The University of Oxford invites you to be part of this ambitious and deeply rewarding endeavour which promises so much for Oxford, for scholarship, and for the common good.

Through the centuries, Oxford’s great minds have changed and bettered the world through their discoveries, innovations and insights
