Reunion gifts help to fuel the School’s future. From scholarships and innovative teaching to research, campus infrastructure and an enriched learning experience, your support enables the School to achieve things which would not otherwise be possible.

In honour of your milestone anniversary, you can directly help to protect and enhance our world-class status and maintain the value of your LBS education. All gifts matter. Your investment in the School really is an investment in you.

Make your reunion gift

I make a reunion gift to give back. The reunion gift reminds me of the LBS experience, both in and out of the classroom, and through scholarships and research my gift will help others to have the same opportunities that we had.

John Briginshaw, MBA1993

I feel lucky to be a member of the LBS family, which has offered me the best graduate school experience I could ever have. Given the truly diverse community at LBS, I’ve learned so much from my peers. Without your support it would have been impossible for me to complete my MiF.

Brenda Bing, MiFFT2017, MiF Alumni Scholar

It all adds up, and if you think about the sheer size of the alumni community, when everyone contributes it makes a huge difference. You might not be responsible for covering an entire scholarship, one student, or one programme, but the impact you have is massive.

Paras Bakrania, MiFFT2016, 50th Anniversary Scholar

Reunion is the perfect time to honour our past connection with the School and fuel its future by supporting LBS. Our investment ensures our School stays at the top – we want to see LBS maintain its strong tradition of excellence.

Jose Lourenco & Giorgio Vintani, MiFFT2008

The Sloan programme will equip me with qualities needed to address public policies, investigate business models and be part of the leadership change in my developing country. Thank you for allowing me to focus on the most important aspects of my learning experience. I hope I will be able to, one day, give back to students at LBS and my home country.

Tarek Abdelrahman, SLN2017, Sloan Alumni Scholar

I wanted a more global experience after working in Zimbabwe, sub-Saharan Africa. LBS was the next natural next step. I would not have been able to study at LBS at this point without the scholarship. Giving [to a scholarship] helps to add to the diversity of the student body. Diversity enriches the experience for all.

Christine Mhongo, MBA2017, 50th Anniversary Scholar

FAQs

Each year reuniting classes come together to raise money for their class gift. Our Reunion volunteers are instrumental in leading their class effort. Many begin encouraging support in early 2018. As Reunion approaches, this page will highlight the Reunion leaderboard, displaying the top ten classes for participation.

There’s strength in numbers, all gifts matter! You have the power to help fuel the School’s future and make a real difference with your giving at any level. LBS competes against schools with significantly larger endowments built up over decades of fundraising. Your support will help the School to remain competitive and seize opportunities as they arise.

Every gift - no matter the size - is meaningful to LBS and contributes to your Reunion class gift. Your participation demonstrates that you value your LBS education and your connection to the School, and that you believe in what we do. Your gift also encourages others to invest in the School too.

Giving back, no matter how much, helps keep the School strong for the next generation. Your gift helps LBS maintain its excellent reputation and develops the business leaders of tomorrow.

Donations to all areas of London Business School contribute towards your Reunion class gift.

The LBS Fund fuels all areas of the School. This flexible funding helps ensure the best possible experience for our students, that our reputation remains strong, and that we will always rank among the world’s top business schools.

Gifts towards scholarships help the School continue to attract outstanding students from around the world. They help to create a diverse, innovative community that is shaping the future.

Our institutes stimulate our faculty’s world-class research. The Wheeler Institute for Business and Development tackles the world’s urgent economic and social issues, empowering the next generation of leaders to make their own positive impact. Our Leadership Institute examines the challenges leaders face, from ethics to effectiveness, and raises the standard of best practice in global leadership.

We encourage you to give at a level you feel is manageable. Regular giving (i.e. monthly or annually) can help the School to be confident in its decision making, knowing it has the funds in place to realise its plans.

Alumni celebrating their 20th, 30th, or 40th Reunions may choose to make a leadership gift or pledge (£5,000 or more) to show appreciation of their enduring relationship with LBS and its future. In previous years, many alumni celebrating their first five-year Reunion choose to make a gift or pledge from £500 to £1,000 to show their support for LBS. Pledges can be made over a two to five-year period.

You can always increase your giving level at a later stage when you feel ready.

We will announce the top classes for participation and total raised at Reunion weekend on 19 May 2018. For your donation to be included, please make your gift by this date. We also invite all donors to make their mark at Reunion by adding their name to our Reunion sky display, which shows our strength in numbers.

All donations received by 31 July 2018 can contribute to your Reunion class gift, but unfortunately, we will not be able to recognise these at Reunion weekend if donated after the event takes place.
