Leave a legacy

Legacies are vital for every part of the Cambridge experience. A legacy gift will help students fulfil their athletic potential and enhance their impact on the world.

Why leave a legacy?

For more than 800 years, legacies have been fundamental to Cambridge. Our Colleges, laboratories, libraries and museums are founded on the generosity of visionary benefactors who have seen that a bequest to Cambridge is a gift to the future of learning, research and knowledge.

Securing the future of Cambridge Sport through a legacy gift will have a decisive impact on university life and society at large, improving student mental health and wellbeing, graduate outcomes and employability. Through sport, we want to help students make a lasting impact on the world for the years to come.

You can leave a gift in your will to help sustain sports clubs, build new sports facilities or support high-performance sport at Cambridge.

Support a club directly

Each sports club at Cambridge has a unique set of objectives and needs. To become fully sustainable in the long term, it is essential that clubs develop communities of philanthropic support.

Cambridge sports facilities

As the University and city continue to expand west, a dedicated Sports Quarter connecting ‘old’ and ‘new’ could play a crucial role in meeting the demand for University and community sports and leisure facilities.

Sporting excellence

Cambridge is committed to supporting student-athletes at the highest levels of competition. Join us in supporting the University of Cambridge Athlete Performance Programme, the Hawks and Ospreys, and the Cambridge University Boat Club.
