Greenwich Giving Day 2025
Today is your chance to change the lives of Greenwich students. It is one day to make a lasting impact on students facing hardship.
Thursday 10 April is our first online giving day, bringing the University of Greenwich community together and offering you the chance to change the life of a Greenwich student.
For over 130 years, the University of Greenwich has worked to make education accessible for all, opening opportunity for students regardless of their background – and on this Giving Day, we hope to continue this tradition of support over a period of 24 hours.
Why it matters - 24 hours to make a difference
As a non-profit institution, we rely on philanthropic support to empower every student to succeed and enjoy the Greenwich experience. Yet for many, financial barriers are among the many challenges facing young people today, preventing them from reaching their full potential.
That's why as alumni – you play a vital role in removing these obstacles. Your donation – whatever the amount – to the Greenwich Annual Fund can provide emergency assistances for students facing unexpected hardship:
- £25 could support our Food Voucher Scheme giving students access to nutritional meals
- £50 could provide a student with emergency funding for groceries
- £250 could provide a student with breakfast on campus for a term
- £1,000 could help a student continue their education despite financial hardship
Your gift – amplified
Today, we’re not just asking for donations – we’re asking our community to come together to help students in need. Your gift to the Annual Fund, no matter the size, will combine with our community of donors to create positive change in students’ lives so they have the chance to go further than ever before.
Whether you studied at Thames Polytechnic or today at the University of Greenwich, the Greenwich experience is like no other. It's exploring ideas in world-class labs and studios. It's finding lifelong friends and mentors. It's the exhilaration of launching your career in the big city, and moments of reflection by the Thames. It's a journey of academic and personal growth across three unique yet united campuses.
The legacy of Greenwich is built on generosity – and with one click, you will be continuing this tradition and make a difference that can be felt for generations to come.
You can also spread the cost of your donation over the course of a year by setting up a Direct Debit. A regular donation provides consistent funding, allowing the university to plan and implement long-term support programmes for students experiencing financial hardship.
