2026 Donor Report The impact of your support2Since the establishment of the 1990 Club in 2020, regular philanthropic contributions to Kellogg College have more than doubled. It is encouraging to see our alumni, Fellows, and members of the College from around the globe championing the College’s vision of promoting lifelong learning through generous recurring gifts. At Kellogg, we believe in fostering a sustainable world in which learning is a lifelong pursuit, empowering individuals to harness their talents, navigate change, and advance humanity through education and discovery. Your commitment and support, especially through the 1990 Club, plays a vital role in sustaining a distinctive and enriching Oxford experience for our students. Recurring gifts allow us to plan ahead and undertake projects that are crucial to the College’s future. Regardless of size, each contribution makes a significant impact, underscoring the connection and generosity shared within our Kellogg community. Thank you for your continued support. 3 Professor Jonathan Michie OBE, FAcSS President, Kellogg College Pro-Vice-Chancellor, University of Oxford 4 Your impact Last year marked another period of growth for regular giving at Kellogg. We saw a 14% increase in the number of donors who have committed to making regular contributions through the 1990 Club. In addition, many long-standing members of the 1990 Club increased the value of their gifts to the College. As a result of the continued expansion of regular giving, philanthropic support from regular gifts rose by 19% last year. Your gifts have not only supported our outstanding graduate students through bursaries, travel grants and research funding, but have also enabled us to strengthen our student community and invigorate key aspects of College life. For example, we have expanded our provision of online and in-person community events during Welcome and Welfare Weeks to accommodate our growing body of full-time and part-time students. Regular Giving through the 1990 Club plays a pivotal role in enabling our students to undertake advanced research at the University and to emerge as leaders in their respective fields. This year, thanks to your support, our students travelled to China, Ghana, and Turkey to present original research at conferences and to conduct archival research. We are immensely proud of our students and alumni who are making substantial contributions to societies and economies worldwide, exemplifying the far-reaching impact of Kellogg as a dynamic and thriving global community.5 Bursaries Students should not be held back by personal circumstances or unexpected economic challenges. At Kellogg, we are committed to alleviating any financial challenges our students may encounter during their studies at Oxford. Last year, Kellogg awarded bursaries to 90% of applicants, with an average disbursement of £724, compared with an average of £684 the previous year.Travel and Research Grants A world-class Oxford education should offer every opportunity for students to develop their academic excellence. Through our travel and research grants, we empower students to travel to key locations to collect primary data for original research, as well as to present their work at global conferences. Thanks to regular giving, we awarded 183 travel and research grants, compared with 100 in the previous year — an increase of 83% in the number of students receiving grants.As a Fine Art student at Oxford, participating in international exhibitions is crucial to advancing my career as an artist. I was honoured to be selected as one of the Arte Laguna Prize Finalist Artists. My work, Suffering—a large inflatable sculpture of lungs standing 3.5 metres tall—represented the sculpture category in the exhibition. For the Arte Laguna Prize Finalists’ exhibition, I shipped my artwork from Oxford to Venice, Italy, and hired a professional photographer on site to document the work. During term time, I travelled to Venice to attend the exhibition’s opening night and the artists’ talks. The research grant provided essential financial support, enabling me to successfully complete this project— an invaluable opportunity for an emerging artist.
