Donations
How can you help us inspire the future generations of Aberdeen's students?
Your support can help play a vital role in ensuring the longevity of the Trust, safeguarding the future of accessible education for those belonging to Aberdeen.
Why Donations Matter
Alongside our assets and investments, direct donations can help accelerate and strengthen access to education for students, pupils, and organisations.
Your donations help fund exciting, new learning opportunities, including school trips and extracurricular activities, creating a comprehensive learning journey that opens the doors of possibility for those it benefits.
Aberdeen Endowments Trust has been built on the back of collaboration and support. For generations, we have inspired young people in Aberdeen, and donations have played a key role in that.
Alongside our structured revenue streams, we have benefited immensely from the generosity of supporters and key individuals who share the same common belief that is at the core of the trust: education can be transformative and access to education should not be limited by background or socio-economic status.
Any donation you make is passed on directly to provide more financial support for education provision in Aberdeen. Education should be open to all and we are grateful for any support you can give to help achieve that ambition.
