Gift of Money
Universities have a truly transformative effect on society, whether that is through educating and developing our students or through the impact of our research, both nationally and internationally.
Gifts to support Queen Mary University of London allow us to do more of this important work even more effectively. Every donation will be used to build on established excellence and will allow us to do things that would otherwise not be possible.
Our team fundraises from charitable trusts and foundations, companies, former students, staff and friends.
Our activities include:
- Making targeted approaches to charitable trusts and foundations
- Meeting with individuals and organisations to encourage them to support our work
- Engaging alumni through our annual telephone fundraising campaign
- Managing relationships with donors and informing them about the impact of their gift
- Disbursing the funds raised from our mass-market fundraising to support a range of areas within the University
You can read more about why our donors give and the impact they’ve made to our University and our students by reading our donor and recipient stories on our Blog.

Annual Fund Telephone Campaign 2022
- The Regular Giving team ran Queen Mary’s first ever in-house telephone fundraising campaign and thanks to our generous alumni community, we were able to raise £55,000 for students in need and for a range of projects that will enhance students’ university experience
- We recruited 25 students as callers who thoroughly enjoyed talking to alumni that had graduated from the same degree or faculty, giving our alumni an opportunity to reconnect, hear about our University’s updates and take a nostalgic walk down memory lane
- Our students are inspired by speaking to our established and successful alumni, who offer an insight into the working world and kindly share any advice they wish they had received themselves
- Queen Mary’s alumni community and supporters are the cornerstone of our work and the donations we receive enable us to break down the barriers that our students may face through no fault of their own, and support them on their journey in further education and beyond.

As a student caller for the second year running, I find that this job has provided me with many skills and opened my eyes to all the possibilities I could pursue after graduating as a dentist. Talking to alumni developed my confidence and receiving advice from them encouraged and still encourages me throughout my degree.— Haleema Rabeea, Second year Dentistry student
It was good to talk to Frazer and hear about students today. I think life is pretty tough for students who do not come from well-off backgrounds, and I am grateful that I didn’t have to cope with the financial problems many face today. Good luck to all current students!— Alumna who received a call during the Telephone Campaign
