1851 Circle

The Imperial 1851 Circle recognises those giving between £1,000 and £4,999 a year.

This includes donors who make a generous regular gift of over £84 a month, or over £250 a quarter.

In 1851 Prince Albert shared his vision for South Kensington as a place for cross-disciplinary collaboration. That vision created one of the world’s most exciting neighbourhoods for the arts, sciences and industry.

Prince Albert was a champion of innovation and education, and his foresight paved the way for the creation of Imperial, in the same way that our donors today are instrumental in helping the college remain at the forefront of world leading scientific research and education. The Imperial 1851 Circle recognises donors who share our belief in the power of science and technology to change the world.
