Cheltenham & Beyond
A School Built on Philanthropy
Founded in 1841, Cheltenham College has experienced a long history of philanthropic support – from Chapel to the Centenary/New Block, and from the Chatfeild-Roberts Library to the Science Centre in recent years.
We are enormously grateful for the support of all those who have given. It does not matter how small or large, every gift can have an immediate and long-term impact on the lives of current Cheltonians.

Cheltenham College’s Code of Practice for Fundaising
All fundraising for and on behalf of the College is to be undertaken by the Development department. The Director of Development has responsibility for all fundraising.
The Director of Development follows the Code of Practice for Fundraising as set out by The Institute of Fundraising which includes policies regarding the protection of vulnerable people and the wider public from undue pressure.
All suggestions and projects requiring fundraising are passed in writing in the first instance to the Bursar, outlining the purpose of the project, the benefits of the project, the estimated costs and the timeframe.
All fundraising priorities, as part of the overall Fundraising Strategy, are to be agreed by the Heads, Bursar, Council and Director of Development.
The Development department, alongside the Accounts department, has responsibility for ensuring that all gifts are recorded, additional benefits claimed, and donors thanked. It is a requirement of everyone to notify the Development department of any donations received, the amount, the purpose of the gift and the details of the donor.
All funds raised for a particular cause must be used for that particular cause.
College is fully accountable and as such will report on all monies raised and how those monies have been spent.
