Ways of giving

Major gifts

"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."
Nelson Mandela

Imperial's founding Charter stipulates that we apply our endeavours to solving the world's problems

Increasingly we do this by breaking down the barriers between subjects and disciplines, and allowing the brightest minds to work in an environment that encourages research without walls

A gift of £50,000 or more can help us attract, retain and harness some of this intellectual firepower and use it to stimulate some of the most innovative thinking around the questions that face today's world.

Here are just some of the areas that our friends and donors have wanted their support to be focused upon:

Alumnus Wilf Corrigan's $1 million donation through the Corrigan-Walla Foundation to create scholarships for Research Fellows and PhD students in nano-electronic research.
