Why support the OU?

The financial support that we receive from our friends and benefactors enables us to continue our internationally renowned programme of research and to develop new teaching technologies that open up education for many millions of people.

How can you help?

You can support us by funding a specific project, leaving a legacy, or making a monthly donation to the OU Supporters Fund for more information on making donations, or to make a donation.

What happens to the money?

Your donations help us to support OU students in financial difficulties or are used to support wider strategic projects and programmes. Find out about some of our recent achievements in terms of supporting students and supporting strategic projects on the OU Fundraising website.
