Why Give

Five Reasons to Give to Exeter

  1. Exeter was not built on government grants but on the private philanthropy of individuals from its foundation in 1314 to the present day - be part of Exeter’s future
  2. Already 20% of Old Members are giving to College, in addition to Parents, Friends and Fellows - you already know someone who is doing this, come and join us
  3. 56% of the 2009 leaving year made a gift of £5 or more to Exeter before they left and before most of them had jobs secured - if they can do it, so can the rest of us
  4. Your gift - whatever its size - will make a difference in ensuring that every student today benefits from the same education and collegiate experience as those who have gone before - your support is helping our future world leaders, future aid workers, future teachers, future politicians etc who are all benefiting from an Oxford education
  5. This Campaign belongs to the whole Exeter community and was created through the collaboration of Fellows, Old Members, Parents and Friends - this is what we all care about - please give now!
