Responsible philanthropy

We cherish the power of active philanthropy as an inspirational force for good in the world. We see our donors as partners and friends, as part of our ‘inner circle’, and ensure that we treat them as such. While we will share our priorities, we will always welcome new ideas, insights and challenges.

We are passionate about the value of private giving in support of education. But at the same time, we are robust about where we accept donations from and for what purpose. More information can be found in our Ethical Donations Policy (pdf).

If you're considering giving to Newcastle, at any level, our professional Philanthropy Advisors will always take the time to understand your circumstances and ambitions so that you can be sure that your donations will achieve the greatest possible impact.

If you would like to discuss making a donation to Newcastle, at any level, please contact our team of specialist philanthropy advisors. Thank you for your support.
