The Caius Fund seeks to raise money for immediate use by the College.
We aim to raise over £500,000 each year for a wide range of projects,
which vary annually according to changing priorities within the College. These
projects could not come to fruition were it not for the Caius Fund, which
supports initiatives that are vital to the continuing academic excellence of
the College. As such, the projects it finances represent key areas of College
life, from teaching to research, books, bursaries and buildings.
We hope that, given the wide range of projects the Caius Fund covers,
there is something to inspire everyone to lend their support. In recent years,
projects have included the renovation of U staircase in Tree Court and of the Waterhouse Building;
the restoration of medieval manuscripts; provision of College Teaching
Officers, Choral Scholarships, a Research Fellowship, undergraduate bursaries
and postgraduate studentships; and a new four for the Boat Club. Contributions
to the Caius Fund can be made towards General Support, which gives the College
the flexibility to direct your donation to the areas of most need, or specific
to one of the range of projects taking place in that year.
The Caius Fund also provides a valuable opportunity for us to rekindle
and reinforce our relationship with Caians across the globe through our annual
Telephone Campaign. We know that Caians love the chance to reconnect with the
College, and there is no better way to achieve this than by speaking to a
current student with whom they share a common bond, be it in terms of subject,
sport or society. All donations made during the Telephone Campaign support the
Caius Fund and all those who generously make donations of more than
£200 will receive an invitation to our May Week Party, where they will
be able to see their gifts immediately being put to good use around the
College.
