A single 36-hour digital giving initiative in which we ask the entire Queens’ global community to come together to support our students and celebrate and reflect on their time at Queens’.
With thousands of pounds to unlock in matched and challenge funding, it’s a day like no other and your gift will go even further than usual.
It will be a transformational day of giving and it’s all about what we can achieve together.
This year’s Giving Day will take place on 8th-9th May 2024. We’re excited for you to join us!
Your gift today will help bright and ambitious students from all backgrounds to make the most of their time at Queens’, irrespective of their financial circumstances.
All gifts, of every size, will make a real difference. Having a large number of donors encourages others to support us too, so we would love as many members of our community to participate in Queens’ Giving Day as possible.
We’d love you to join in on 8-9 May, but we understand that your schedule might not allow you to participate during the Giving Day itself.
There are several ways to make your gift, whether you’d like to give on the day or before it:
