The Annual Fund
The generosity of alumni and donors ensures that every student, regardless of background, can live the full Greenwich experience. Your support removes barriers, creates opportunities, and gives the next generation the chance to go further.
The Greenwich Experience Without Boundaries
For over 130 years, the University of Greenwich has empowered students from all walks of life to realise their dreams and make a difference in the world. From our pioneering history as Woolwich Polytechnic in 1890 to our ambitious 2030 vision of Education Without Boundaries, we have always believed in the transformative power of higher education to unlock human potential.
Whether you studied at Thames Polytechnic or today at the University of Greenwich, from late night study sessions in the library to sunny picnics in the park, the Greenwich experience is like no other. It's exploring ideas in world-class labs and studios. It's finding lifelong friends and mentors. It's the exhilaration of launching your career in the big city, and quiet moments of reflection by the Thames. It's a journey of academic and personal growth across three unique yet united campuses.
We believe every student deserves to live this experience to the fullest, without financial or circumstantial constraints. But for too many, the reality falls short. That's why we've launched the Annual Fund – to level the playing field and ensure the Greenwich experience is open to all. Your gift, in any amount, will go where the need is greatest.
You can also spread the cost of your donation over the course of a year by setting up a Direct Debit.
Below are our fundraising priorities.
