Philanthropy at London Business School accelerates bold ideas, empowers the people who will shape the future of business, and drives progress towards a more sustainable, inclusive and resilient world.
Below are stories from donors outlining the ideas and initiatives their generosity has helped bring to life.
A £3 million gift from alumnus John Dawson MiFPT1995 and his wife, Sam, will endow the Dawson Chair in Strategy and Entrepreneurship – strengthening LBS’s academic excellence and advancing innovation.
The Gallifrey Scholarship supports an MBA or Sloan student from a social entrepreneurship background with aspirations to move into the social impact space after graduating.
The Sammy Ofer Centre is housed within the iconic, Grade II-listed Old Marylebone Town Hall.
"My wife, Batia, and I were delighted to support the School’s first Campaign through our gift to create the Sammy Ofer Centre. Thousands of students have benefitted from the Centre in the five years since it opened.Support the Forever Forward campaign
It was important to both of us that our gift to the School would have a lasting impact, supporting future generations of students as they become future leaders and entrepreneurs.
The Centre was named after my father, who advocated for the value of education and the duty of each generation to educate the next. I know he would be proud to be associated with the future success of LBS and its growing community."
Dr Fiona Pathiraja and Søren Fryland Møller, both EMBALS2017, have given back to the School by supporting a new lecture theatre in the Plowden Building, which has been named in their honour.
"As a couple, it's deeply important to us to support the School because LBS feels like home. This is where we met. The School has given us so much individually and as a couple, and we feel it's a no-brainer to give back to the community here.Support the Forever Forward campaign
We understand how education is this lever that you can go on and unlock untapped opportunity with. And we want that for everyone who comes to LBS.
Giving back is so much more than the financial contribution you're making. Whether it be small or large, it's about strengthening the community that has shaped you, that has changed your life, ensuring its longevity and ensuring its future impact."
