IDPE Celebration of Giving

IDPE's Celebration of Giving is a week-long annual event that provides an opportunity for all schools to come together and celebrate the generosity of our communities. Whether you choose to run a giving day, thank your community, recruit new volunteers, or share the value of philanthropy to your school, join us each November for this week-long celebration, showcasing the impact of schools' development on the lives of young people.

IDPE Celebration of Giving 2025

Monday 17 – Friday 21 November 2025

This year's IDPE Celebration of Giving is all about the power of school communities coming together to make a difference. Throughout the week, we'll shine a spotlight on the collective impact of parents, alumni, and supporters, working together through fundraising and engagement to create new opportunities for young people in education.

Whether you're just starting your development journey or looking to grow your impact, our programme of free-to-attend sessions will offer practical guidance and inspiration from real-life stories. Throughout the week, we also invite you to share your success stories and celebrate the impact of support from your school's community online using #IDPEGivingWeek.
