Who are Britain’s leading philanthropists to universities? And which of those philanthropists are giving to universities outside the UK. These are some of the questions we have attempted to answer in our second annual review of philanthropic funding to universities and higher education institutions by Britain’s top 200 philanthropists as identified by the Sunday Times / Charities Aid Foundation Giving List. We echo the remarks of Mark Greer, one of the authors of the Giving List, who points out that there is a clear increase in philanthropists giving to higher education.
