The Development Fund relies on the generosity of our alumni and friends to provide additional opportunities to enhance education and enrich the college experience for the 680 students currently studying at Jesus. If you would like to support our students, please consider making a gift today.
With thanks to our loyal donors, the Fund raises over £100,000 annually. This year, College was able to award £85,684 for the priority projects such as bursaries, research grants, and prizes to students, widen participation and access to Jesus College, create a vibrant environment of cultural and sporting activities, and fund projects proposed by SCR, MCR, and JCR members.
