Old Members’ Activities DEVELOPMENT AND OLD MEMBER RELATIONS REPORT To echo the remarks of others, the 2019-20 academic year was obviously not quite the year we were expecting in the Old Members’ Office. Indeed, it was very much a year that moved from excitement, to uncertainty and then to disappointment as we were forced to cancel Old Member events as the year progressed. Yet while the Old Members’ events programme divided into two very distinct halves, the disruption caused by COVID-19 was surprisingly not mirrored in the year’s Justin B. Jacobs overall fundraising totals. Fundraising at Queen’s during Director of Development 2019-20 was some of the strongest the College has seen with 659 donors contributing to a New Funds Raised figure of £5,413,600 – only the third time Queen’s has ever surpassed the £5M New Funds Raised total in a financial year. This figure is a clear reflection of the continued goodwill, willingness to support and generosity of Queen’s Old Members and friends, and their collective desire to ensure the College is as well-positioned financially as it can be to meet the challenges its students and the tutorial system will likely face in the years to come. In the Development Office, we tend to see this support as also having something of a historical and enduring quality to it, as it is due in large part to the support of previous years (to which this year’s donations will be gratefully added) that Queen’s finds itself in a position to ride out some potentially very turbulent seas. 84 The Queen’s College | College Record 2020
One of the highlights of the College’s stewardship of its donors is being able to recognise their support and generosity. Here in the College Record we have listed all of those Old Members and friends who chose to support Queen’s in 2019-20, and in the annual Development Report we detail the impact their support has had on the College community. Of particular note for the 2019-20 year were the following gifts received by Queen’s: • A permanent endowment gift from the Carlsberg and Pettit Foundations to create the Erel Shalit Carlsberg Foundation Research Fellowship in Behavioural Neuroscience. Old Members’ Activities • A permanent legacy endowment gift from F.H. Brittenden (Modern History, 1946) to support History teaching at Queen’s, which will create the fully endowed Brittenden Fellowship in Black British History. • An anonymous non-endowment gift to create an Access and Outreach Officer post to focus on building up links between Oxford, Queen’s and the Northwest of England over the next two years. This creates a second access and outreach position for Queen’s and doubles our investment in this important area. • An anonymous non-endowment gift to support the early-stage growth of the Queen’s College Translation Exchange, an access and outreach initiative built around introducing local school students to the world of languages, literature and translation (www.queens.ox.ac.uk/translation-exchange). Governing Body was also able to recognise key milestones in the amount of lifetime support received from certain Old Members and friends. In 2019-20 Governing Body elected three new Eglesfield Benefactors (in recognition of lifetime giving in excess of £100,000) and two new Philippa Benefactors (in recognition of lifetime giving in excess of £10,000). The College always takes a special pride in being able to bestow these Benefactorships on those whose lifetime support of Queen’s has merited special recognition. On behalf of Queen’s I would like to say thank you again to all of those who have chosen to support the College this year. We look forward to seeing you back in Oxford just as soon as we can.
