Every gift to City goes directly to our bursary fund (registered charity number 276251), supporting students who would otherwise be unable to study with us. For further information and to hear direct testimony from former bursary recipients, please visit www.clsg.org.uk/support-us
Educating students of conspicuous potential, regardless of financial circumstance or family background, is a central tenet of City and always has been. We gave our first bursary a year after we opened and have subsequently offered financial support to thousands of students. Currently we support 15% of the student body with a bursary, but we are still turning away talented girls for lack of funds.
City’s bursary fund is a true community effort with funding coming from generous alumnae, parents, staff, trusts, City livery companies and the Corporation of London. The government assisted places scheme was closed in 1997 and funding from the Corporation dropped by two-thirds in 2022 – the overwhelming majority of gifts at City come from individuals within our community. We are so grateful for this support – it is truly lifechanging!
These new awards will sit alongside the 100 bursaries we currently offer, giving future students the chance to come to City and, according to one of our former recipients, ‘meet the best version of themselves.’
During this 36 hour fundraising challenge, we’re benefiting from some extraordinarily generous matched funding. This means that every gift, up to a total of £65,000 will be doubled by donations pledged by a group of generous bursary fund supporters. Any gift you are able to make during this period will make a huge difference!

Yes, please email development@clsg.org.uk or telephone 020 7847 5500 to discuss other ways to make a gift. We are also still looking for volunteers to help us take part in some of our fundraising challenges between 10 and 14 June, so please do get in touch if you would like more information about this.
The minimum online donation is £1. There’s no maximum donation, and no limit on the impact you can make with your gift!
Yes, as long as you have paid as much UK Income Tax and/or Capital Gains tax as the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all of your donations in this tax year, City can reclaim the basic tax rate (25%) on your gift, with no extra cost to you. So for example, a gift of £100 will be worth £125 before the addition of matched funding and subsequently doubled to £250!
Please email any question to Kate Eberwein, Head of Development on eberweink@clsg.org.uk or telephone 020 7847 5500.
