Donors and supporters

The Royal College of Art would like to express its gratitude and deepest thanks to the individuals, trusts, foundations, corporations and alumni who have donated and pledged over £10m in philanthropic support to the GenerationRCA campaign during 2020/21.
“Support for GenerationRCA, the College and our students has shone through the challenging and unprecedented times of the past year. Such championing of the arts and design will help us to secure the future of the College and enable our students, researchers and academics to continue to pursue creative excellence, innovation and entrepreneurship – which we need now more than ever. None of which would be possible without the RCA’s generous supporters.”
Director, Development & Alumni Relations and Director, RCA USA
As we begin to emerge from the restrictions of the pandemic and look forward to a brighter future, it’s important that we take a moment to reflect and celebrate the good that has come from 2020/21.
Once again, the GenerationRCA community has proven that it can be resilient, innovative and respond to the biggest challenges facing people and the planet today. The College is proud to be involved in a number of exciting new initiatives that ask our academic, student and alumni bodies to excel in cross disciplinary working, alongside creative and curious thinking, more than ever before.
The inspiring moments that have happened this year have been made possible due to the incredible generosity and continuous backing from our community of supporters, who believe in the power of the RCA and it’s academic vision of combining STEM subjects with art and design. On a personal note, it was a delight to celebrate with a small number of you at the Chancellor's Circle in June and we hope to see more of you in person soon.
At the end of another exceptional academic year, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to our alumni, donors and friends. Not just for supporting the RCA during challenging times, but also in all that you have enabled for art, design, culture, and for society at large.
GenerationRCA is a vital part of our past and present and we are very grateful and proud that you are ensuring it remains part of our future.
