Our Campaign progress

The public launch of LSE’s major engagement and philanthropy Campaign, Shaping the World, in November 2021 marked a significant moment in our ambition to become the world’s leading social science university with the greatest global impact.

In the intervening months, we have been delighted to work with many of our alumni, friends and partners, who have joined us to provide philanthropic support to a number of priority areas that help to shape a better world, and volunteering hours that benefit LSE’s global community, in particular our students and recent graduates.

We are pleased to share what your support has helped us to achieve to date:

Philanthropy

Every gift makes a difference. Our donors come from every corner of the world and all walks of life, and your generous support shapes our community and the world for the betterment of society.

Volunteering

From alumni who lead local and professional networks across the world to those of you who gift your time to mentor students or lend your expert advice, our volunteers are leading advocates for the School and its global impact. Your support through volunteering is crucial in strengthening our global LSE community and inspire the next generation of leaders.

Shaping the World is our Campaign for the whole of our global community and for the world, and there are many ways for you to be part of it: from joining LSE events, to becoming an advocate, to volunteering your time to help other members of our global community, to lending your philanthropic support.
