Giving Day 2025

We are pleased to report that St John’s second Giving Day was a historic success. Over a 36-hour period more than 790 alumni, Fellows, staff, students and friends raised more than £870,000 in support of the Dobson Free Places Fund and the LMBC Bicentenary Appeal. Thank you to all who pledged their support, promoted Giving Day within their personal networks, or shared their stories of St John’s. To our knowledge, this was the most successful fundraising event of its kind ever held by a Cambridge or Oxford college.

It’s not too late to make your gift via our Giving Day page if you have yet to do so. Every gift still counts and makes a tangible difference to our students. Over the coming days, we will closely monitor the Giving Day total and look forward to reporting back once the final figures are in—stay tuned for further updates.
