Your gift, your legacy
Greenwich was founded through philanthropy, a belief in education as a force for social mobility and economic progress. Devonport House invites a new generation of partners to stand with us. Construction is underway, planning permission is secured, and £75 million is already committed. A gift now is a direct commitment to the belief that where you come from should never determine where you end up.

Give your time and expertise
Whether that's mentoring students, opening doors to your industry contacts, or connecting us with others who might support the campaign, we'd love to hear from you.
I support the university because of my experience in 2016 and 2017, the way it reaches into its surrounding communities and the opportunities it offers to young people to transform their lives.
An enduring influence: naming opportunities
Naming a room, space, scholarship or fund within Devonport House is a powerful, permanent statement of your support. Your name becomes part of the building's next chapter, in a setting shaped by the Old Royal Naval College's Wren-designed baroque architecture across the road, and restored true to Sir Edwin Cooper's original 1920s design for Devonport House itself. Naming opportunities range from individual teaching spaces to the building's largest public rooms.
Talk to us about naming opportunities, email fundraising@greenwich.ac.uk.
Giving through your organisation
Corporate partners who support Devonport House gain more than recognition:
- Reinforce your organisation's reputation as a champion of education, talent and social mobility.
- Build a direct pipeline to future talent through Greenwich Business School's 7,000+ students, drawn from 140+ countries.
- Align with a landmark restoration project within the Maritime Greenwich UNESCO World Heritage Site, minutes from Canary Wharf.
- Demonstrate your ESG and social impact commitments through a visible, place-based partnership.
- Access thought leadership and events via speaking opportunities, research collaboration and networking with the Business School's academic and industry community.

Leaving a legacy gift
A legacy gift to Devonport House ensures future generations of Greenwich students benefit from the same opportunities that shaped your own life or career. It costs nothing during your lifetime, and can take several forms: a fixed sum, a percentage of your estate, or naming the University as a beneficiary of a pension. Legacy gifts to the University of Greenwich, a registered charity, may also reduce inheritance tax liability in the UK.
Leaving a gift in your will costs nothing today, but it can change a student's future for decades to come. It's one of the simplest, most powerful ways to give back to Greenwich.
Tax-efficient giving
UK taxpayers may be eligible for Gift Aid on their donation, and higher-rate taxpayers can claim additional relief on the difference between their rate and the basic rate. International donors, including US taxpayers, may also be able to give tax-efficiently; the fundraising team can advise on the best route for your circumstances. Gifts of stocks and shares are also welcome; get in touch for details.

Every conversation starts somewhere. If Devonport House has caught your interest, we'd love to hear from you, however early in your thinking you are.
