Our Priorities

At Glasgow Caledonian University we are the University for the Common Good with a global reputation for delivering social benefit and impact through education, research and social innovation.  The Glasgow Caledonian University Foundation supports the University’s vision by working to generate funds that will help to transform lives through education.

We recognise that philanthropic and charitable giving can be key enablers for change.  We are currently raising funds to increase access to GCU, to support our students in need particularly those who have been pushed further into hardship as a result of COVID 19 and to provide life changing experiences for our students that enhance their employability and encourage them to become global citizens.

The Foundation will continue to work with philanthropists and donors who share our passion for promoting access to education and the practical application of research, knowledge and innovation to deliver social benefit and impact.
