Courtauld Fund Challenge Week

We are incredibly grateful to our global Courtauld community for all the ways you continue to support and inspire us. During 2–8 December 2025, all donations will be matched by a group of extraordinary philanthropists. Our Courtauld Fund Leaders have generously pledged to double each and every donation you make, up to £75,000 – with special thanks to TrinityBridge for their lead gift in support of this campaign. This means your generosity will have twice the impact and, together, we can raise £150,000 to support areas across the Courtauld where it is needed most.

Your kind gift will go towards:
