Donors Who Supported Universities Beyond Naming a Building

What did the gift actually fund? These 25 donors backed scholarships, tuition relief, research, teaching or continuing institutional support at universities and colleges. The selection follows identifiable programmes, including joint gifts and foundations, and distinguishes announced commitments from recorded delivery. Some institutions also carry donors' names; the point is the work financed behind them. This is a historical selection across different funding models, not a league table of generosity or an endorsement of every donor's wider record.
