The Napier Fund

The Napier Fund was launched in 2005 to provide a critical source of unrestricted funding for key university projects. Income raised through the Napier Fund complements the income received from government and other statutory bodies.  To maximise our commitment to widening access and the enhancement of facilities, philanthropic giving is becoming ever more crucial to the University.

Project Outline
Alumni, friends and supporters of the University support the Napier Fund through a number of fundraising campaigns including the annual telephone campaign and mailed appeal.

Annual Telephone Fundraising Campaign
Each spring, a team of student callers come together to contact alumni in an effort to raise awareness of the Napier Fund.  As well as raising vital funds, the campaign gives us a unique chance to speak with you on a one-to-one basis, and find out your views on developments at the University, as well as to gain your input on our growing alumni programme.

How has my gift been spent?
The Napier Fund has enabled the University to launch the Student Grant Initiative, as well as to provide key funding for the Napier Scholars Programme.  Other projects that have received funding from the Napier Fund include the War Poets Collection and Confident Futures.

Funds raised to date
To date, over £219,000 has been raised in unrestricted funds.  Currently £20,000 a year is designated to the Student Grant Initiative.

How can I get involved?
The Napier Fund relies heavily on building up a network of regular supporters.  Any amount that you can give makes a significant difference to the lives of our students.  Collectively the gifts from our alumni and supporters have already enabled many Napier students to undertake innovative projects through the Student Grant Initiative, giving them that all crucial experience for their CV.
