Why Give?
No matter where your passion or interest lies, when you invest in St Catherine’s College, your gift has an impact. Gifts of all sizes combine to create a circle of support and momentum of change that go beyond the borders of the College. Our residents have a ripple effect — not just in academia, but in society as a whole.
Changing lives in your community and the world
Our residents and alumni improve the lives of others. The cumulative power of giving creates safer cities, smarter streets, a more sustainable world and a more equitable society.
“I have so much to thank the College for. It’s the medium through which I’ve been able to pursue all my interests. Being at College has helped me open up to new experiences, opportunities, and challenges.”
