Building on UCL's successful participation in CASE Student Engagement & Philanthropy Days since 2013, it was decided to organise a month long period of activity in February 2016 called ‘Philanthropy Month' to raise awareness of Philanthropy at UCL. The month incorporated a global programme of communications, fundraising, volunteering and events activity and culminated in ‘Philanthropy Day' held on 29 February.
From the Judges' Report
UCL Philanthropy Month celebrates those who support the University, either by giving their time or financial support. Judges loved this program and thought it was an important way to engage with students and alumni around philanthropy. Judges said UCL was doing an excellent job in leading the way for UK institutions. They also enjoyed the many clever promotional pieces created to engage with audiences around this event.
