Annual Fund Disbursement

Each year the Annual Fund supports a vast range of projects which have a direct impact on student life, campus environment and facilities at Exeter.  Applications are invited from projects across the University on an annual (spring) basis.

A Disbursement Panel meet to consider applications and to make recommendations to the Registrar and Director of DARO on which projects should be supported. The panel comprises academic and professional services staff, representatives from the Students' Guild and current donors to the University. .

If you would like to become a member of the panel or would like further information on what is involved, please contact Louise Mackay (01392 725013)

Annual Fund Reserve

In response to the number of requests the Development & Alumni Relations team receive each year for funding from across the University to support a variety of projects, equipment and groups of students who require additional funding in order to complete or to enhance their studies, we have established the‘Annual Fund Reserve’. All Colleges, the Student’s Guild, societies and Professional Service teams will be eligible to receive support from the fund, including those on St Luke’s and Cornwall campuses as well as Streatham.

Those requesting funding will be asked to complete a short application form detailing what funding is needed and providing reasons why funds should be sourced from the Reserve. Each application will be judged against the criteria below and the Director of DARO  along with up to 6 members of the Annual Fund Disbursement panel will authorise requests to a maximum of £2,000 (at the Director’s and panel’s discretion).

Funding from the Reserve will be available on an annual basis, throughout the year.

Criteria against which applications will be judge include;

• Does the application impact a large audience?
• Does the application make a qualitative difference to the student experience?

Additionally

• Does the application ‘put Exeter on the map?
• Is the application inspiring and innovative?

Funds will be distributed on a first come first served basis and responses to requests will be provided promptly.

Please submit your completed application form to Louise Mackay, Development Officer (01392 725013).
