Welcome to the 800th Anniversary Campaign

The impact of your gifts

Across Cambridge, evidence of the transformative effect of your gifts abounds.

Thousands of students have been able to study here – purely on the basis of their talent. Support for key posts is helping to meet demand, and sustain the vitality of our research. Scholarship is flourishing thanks to the world-class facilities that you are making possible. And the impact of your generosity can be seen in our museums, not only in the glass cases but in the faces of the hundreds of thousands of people who visit them each year.

There is still much to be done to ensure that Cambridge builds the firm financial foundations on which its excellence and autonomy depends. But there is also much to celebrate – because your philanthropy is making a difference. Here are some examples of how.
