Major Benefactors

Thanking Exeter's Benefactors

Exeter is committed to the public recognition of its donors, where desired, in order both to express the gratitude of the College as a whole and to demonstrate that those who know the College best are committed to its support and future success.

All those who give more than £25,000 (gross) to the College, either as a single gift or over time, will receive lifetime recognition as a Major Benefactor of the College. Major Benefactors are listed in the Donors' Report each year (unless anonymity is requested).

All Major Benefactors are invited to the annual Commemoration of Benefactors Service, in June, and then to the Higgs Night Dinner in Hall afterwards, as well as to the exclusive Major Benefactors' Dinner held each summer.
