Christ's College Telephone Campaign
Every year, during the Easter vacation, current Christ's students take to the phones to get in touch with you, our alumni: to let you know what is going on at the College, invite you to events, and show what a difference you could make with a donation.
Every gift to the Telephone Campaign is a gift towards our Campaign for Christ's, focussed on the Student Support Fund - helping us to provide bursaries for the best and brightest through their time at Christ's, and ensuring that all our students can thrive at Cambridge without the burden of financial worries - or our General Funds - matching the College's current priorities, especially important following COVID-19. With your support we have been able to develop this further and further, as we currently provide over £650,000 in grants to graduates and undergraduates every year, alongside thousands of pounds spent on other elements of the student experience, and future campaigns will allow us to continue expanding this figure.

Gifts to our Telephone Campaigns provide for...
|
Living Costs
|
Sudden Expenses
|
Extracurricular Opportunities
|
| Our students are passionate about taking part in calling, some of them joining the call team year after year. Many of them are recipients of bursary support themselves, and know what a difference this makes to their time at Christ's. |

'I really love getting to talk to people who've lived really interesting lives and loved their time in College- especially those who are really supportive of the cause'

| Below is an archive of our past Campaigns and successes, showing how every gift in the Campaign adds up to have a much larger impact. Of course, you can still make a donation to our Student Support Fund outside of calling by clicking the link here. |

Additionally, we often run matched gift programmes during our Campaigns, allowing many donations to go even further by matching them. Each one of these matching gift funds have been provided by generous alumni, who are interested in encouraging wider donations to the College and increasing the difference their gift makes. If you are interested in learning more about matched gifts, or providing a matched gift fund, please contact Catherine Twilley on 01223 748 856, or via e-mail.
