To put it into perspective, a 3% return on £128 million generates £3.84 million annually, which covers only a fraction of our operating costs. In 2024, Queens’ subsidised accommodation, conference, and catering activities by £2.3 million, while the Education Account showed a gross deficit of nearly £4 million. Without support from our alumni and friends, preserving the unique Queens’ student experience would be an immense challenge.
Fortunately, the Queens’ community continues to step up. In the 2023-24 financial year alone,
an extraordinary £10.1 million was raised, including a transformative gift for the renovation
of the Erasmus Building. This remarkable figure places Queens’ among the top five Cambridge Colleges for philanthropic income, which is a testament to the loyalty, generosity, and passion of our alumni community.
We are immensely grateful for this continued support. Every gift, no matter the size, has a direct impact on College life, from funding scholarships and research to preserving our historic spaces for future generations. If you would like to help Queens’ by giving to The Endowment you can do so here or by emailing development@queens.ac.uk.
