Fundraising success and finances 2018-19

£

million of philanthropic income. Which was used for bursaries, capital development, and * other College priorities *general donations which the College will allocate to its most pressing priorities, including: specific projects, unrestricted income, prizes and awards.

Each year all of the College’s funds are committed to delivering its principal aims. The generous support of the whole Dulwich College community makes an essential contribution to this work year after year. During the period of 1 August 2018 to 31 July 2019, we received donations totalling more than £1.68 million. Over 1,390 donors, made up of OAs, parents, pupils and friends of the College, who are based in 21 countries across the world, helped us to reach this substantial sum. In addition to this figure, numerous individuals have made pledges that will be fulfilled over a number of years. To be able to mark our 400th anniversary with the participation of so many and with this level of donations is an achievement the whole Dulwich community can be proud of. In a year that was focused on our priority to increase our bursary offering to 50% of pupils in the senior school, the support we have received has been overwhelming. More than £1.3 million was raised specifically for bursaries through donations and the many fundraising activities which have taken place throughout the year. The 2019 Society closed successfully in early 2019 having reached its full complement of 2,019 members. Thanks to the incredible support from all the members, we were able to raise more than £6 million for The Laboratory, with some donors also supporting our social mission to increase fee assisted places at the College.
