We will:
- Significantly increase philanthropic income by 2027 and use it to:
- Enrich our students’ experience, offering students from all backgrounds the opportunity of a Sheffield education, and developing world-class facilities to maximise the value of our degrees.
- Enable the delivery of life-changing research to enhance the world around us.
- Conduct a transformational, One University campaign, inspiring students, staff, alumni, supporters and partners to participate in supporting this ambition.
- Build a strong link between volunteering, local community engagement and our philanthropic aims, including increasing volunteering from the University’s global alumni community to support a range of activities across the University.
