Advancement policies

Giving to Imperial should be a positive experience for all of our existing or potential supporters. We recognise that inevitably a few of the many people we engage with through our fundraising activities may be classed as temporarily or permanently vulnerable and that we should be especially compassionate and respectful when engaging with these individuals. Our vulnerable supporters policy is in place to ensure we follow best practice in our interactions with all supporters.

The Advancement Division is committed to supporting the relationship between our alumni, friends and the College. Despite our best endeavours, we understand that there may be occasions where our supporters would like to raise a complaint about our work and in those cases we welcome their feedback. The Fundraising Complaints policy outlines our approach and commitment to resolving supporters’ complaints wherever possible.

All donations are accepted at the College’s discretion and following a proportionate review. The College’s Guidelines for accepting philanthropic income and other gifts sets out the process for such review. Responsibility for the review of proposed gifts rests with the Development Division, reporting to the Director of Development. This includes a review of the ethical considerations as well as the wider scope of any proposal.
