How to support to LBS

What is the Forever Forward campaign?

Forever Forward is London Business School’s ambitious fundraising campaign to shape business and the world, for the better. The Campaign focuses on the real-world impact donors can make across three key areas: championing global talent, shaping the future of business and advancing sustainability.

How will my donation be used?

Every gift we receive helps turn world-class research and ideas into solutions that matter, giving donors a direct role in creating positive change. Whether it’s transforming access to a world-class business education, investing in pioneering research to harness digital transformation and AI for positive impact, or accelerating research to develop tangible business solutions as a force for good, you are helping shape a future where business drives meaningful progress.

Can I choose where my donation goes?

You can designate your gift to a specific area that aligns with your values or interests – whether that’s funding scholarships, supporting faculty research, enhancing our campus, or investing in new learning technologies, for example.

What are the different ways to give?

You can give online, by bank transfer, through gifts of shares or via corporate matching schemes. We also welcome legacy gifts, multi-year pledges and endowment gifts. Our team can help you choose the method that works best for you.

Is my donation tax-deductible?

Donations from UK taxpayers may be eligible for Gift Aid, and we can provide guidance for international donors to ensure tax-efficient giving. Higher-rate UK taxpayers can also claim tax relief – the difference between the higher and basic rate of tax – on their donations.

Leaving a gift in your will to LBS can reduce inheritance tax rates in the UK and abroad, as LBS has charitable status.

Find out more at Give to LBS or contact our Donor Relations team for more information at donorrelations@london.edu.

What is the Regent’s Circle and how can I join?

The Regent’s Circle recognises donors who make significant contributions to the Campaign. Members receive exclusive updates, invitations to special events and opportunities to engage with the School’s leadership and faculty.

Contact lbsfund@london.edu for more details.

How does LBS ensure transparency and accountability in the use of funds?

We are committed to responsible stewardship. Donors receive regular impact reports and all funds are managed with oversight from our Advancement team and Campaign Leadership Board to ensure alignment with our campaign goals.

Can corporates partner with LBS through the Campaign?

We welcome strategic partnerships that support research, talent development and innovation. Corporates can also explore naming opportunities, bespoke collaborations and executive education initiatives. For more information, please contact campaign@london.edu.

What impact has the Campaign had so far?

The Forever Forward campaign has already enabled new scholarships, supported groundbreaking research and enhanced our learning spaces. Visit our Celebrating your impact section to hear directly from donors and beneficiaries.

Who leads the Campaign?

Forever Forward is guided by a dedicated Campaign Leadership Board comprising alumni, donors and senior School leaders. Their vision and commitment are helping shape LBS’s continued impact on the world.

Can I make a recurring gift or pledge over time?

Many donors choose to make multi-year commitments, which help us plan for long-term impact. You can set up recurring gifts or discuss a pledge with our Advancement team.

How do I get in touch to discuss a major gift or bespoke opportunity?

Please contact our Advancement team at campaign@london.edu to arrange a conversation. We’d love to hear from you.
