Celebrating a Shaping the World Campaign milestone

In November 2021, we publicly launched our Shaping the World Campaign, with a commitment to support, utilise and deploy LSE’s education, research and public engagement to work on, and propose solutions to, the greatest challenges of our time.

Our Campaign targets were to raise £350 million in philanthropic funds and 100,000 volunteer hours, all in support of students, staff, our research and our community, online and around the world.

Thanks to the support and commitment of our global community of alumni, friends and partners, we have surpassed those goals a year ahead of schedule, raising £382 million from 4,814 donors, and 126,426 volunteering hours from 6,797 volunteers. Thank you.

We are delighted to share that we have extended our Campaign goal to £750 million and 300,000 volunteering hours, with renewed ambitions for addressing and impacting critical global challenges. Working in partnership with colleagues, supporters and alumni leaders, and building on support received to date, we look forward to achieving this together as a School community.
