Fundraising futures: Transforming UK schools' philanthropy

Philanthropy has always shaped education. Many of the UK's most respected state and independent schools were founded by individuals, philanthropists and communities driven by the belief that education can transform lives.

Today, the financial pressures on schools have never been greater. To survive and thrive, schools must diversify their income - and growing philanthropic funds must play a central role.

With the right strategy and sustained investment, schools can build stronger communities, grow their philanthropic income, and unlock fundraising that transforms opportunities for young people. Drawing on sector-wide research, benchmarking and best practice, IDPE's latest report, Fundraising futures: Transforming UK schools' philanthropy provides school leaders with practical guidance on how to establish and grow effective development programmes.
