Development - Engineering

The Faculty of Engineering fundraising team secures philanthropic funding to support the next generation of engineers and enable the groundbreaking research taking place across the Faculty’s ten departments.

We work closely with supporters to understand their priorities and the projects which matter to them, making connections between potential donors and students and researchers from the Faculty of Engineering.

We collaborate with the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Heads of Departments to ensure our strategic priorities are aligned and assist academics in developing relationships with donors and potential supporters of their work. The team is a source of expert advice on managing gifts and navigating the administrative processes involved, creating a bridge between academic colleagues and the resources and support available from the Advancement division – such as undertaking due diligence, publicising gifts and reporting on impact.

Philanthropic priorities in the Faculty of Engineering include providing scholarships and student support, engineering a low-carbon future and innovating to improve human health. We also fundraise for I-X, a new interdisciplinary research initiative which applies expertise in AI to solve global challenges.
