Milestones to the Future

Trinity Hall is currently running a major campaign with two fundraising aims to safeguard the College’s future.

The first is to undertake a Regeneration of the rooms in the main College site.

The second is to bolster our Endowment.

With a combined target of over £40 million, these are bold initiatives but they are also imperative.

The support we are now asking for from our alumni and our friends and supporters is to put the College beyond harm, and to guarantee the vital independence that successive governments have sought to drain away. The independence we seek to achieve over the forthcoming years will prove priceless.

The University 800th Campaign

Concurrently, collegiate Cambridge is also running a major campaign to coincide with the 800th anniversary of the University to be celebrated in 2009. In September 2005, the Vice-Chancellor announced that an overall goal of £1 billion had been set to help secure Cambridge’s excellence in teaching and research for future generations.

The 800th Campaign is a unique opportunity for the colleges to work with the University in a common enterprise: raising £1 billion to safeguard the University's future. All gifts made to the colleges count to the overall total for the Campaign, so by donating to Trinity Hall, you are also contributing to the University's 800th Campaign. As the Vice-Chancellor has repeatedly said: "a gift to a college is a gift to the University".

In practice, this means that all the colleges tell the University how much they have raised in each year. The "Funds Raised" figures for all of the 31 colleges are then added to the total amount raised by the University for non-college purposes. The accrued campaign total as at 30 June 2009 is just over £940 million.

Supporting Trinity Hall is thus doubly valuable: the Hall benefits directly from your support; and, in helping the Hall, you are also making an indirect contribution to the University's campaign to continue as one of the world's greatest universities.
