The Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Fund Challenge Week, 9 – 15 May 2024

We are calling on you, our incredible community, to collectively help us raise £110,000 in just one week!

Give today and your donation will be doubled

Our Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Fund Leaders – a group of extraordinary philanthropists – have pledged to match every £1 up to £55,000 raised until midnight on 15 May 2024. This means if you donate today your donation will go twice as far and have double the impact.

Your donations will go towards:

Supporting our students

Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê graduates make an extraordinary contribution to the world’s creative and scholarly communities. Your gift will support much-needed scholarships, grants, the student Hardship Fund and our career-mentoring programme, enabling students from all walks of life to realise their full potential.

Safeguarding our collection and Grade I listed Gallery

The Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê Gallery is reliant on donations to create the beautifully curated exhibitions for which we are famous and our highly trained Front of House team work tirelessly to make your visit warm and welcoming. Your support will ensure we continue to offer the very best visitor experience and help preserve The Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê’s collection for future generations to enjoy.

Digitising our collections

Our expansive library holds over one million rare photographs and cuttings of world architecture, sculpture, paintings, and decorative art. Since 2017, we have led an award-winning volunteer programme to digitise these important images for all to study and enjoy. Your support will help continue this work to put the collection online, providing access for all.

Conserving important artworks

The Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê is home to one of the most important art history conservation programmes in the world. Your support will ensure we continue to lead projects using ground-breaking techniques to preserve some of the world’s most important artworks, wall paintings and historical sites.
