Help us hit our target of £75,000 for the Courtauld Fund Challenge – every donation you make until midnight on 8 December will help us get there!
Our generous Courtauld Fund Leaders have promised to double every donation up to the target. This means that, together, we can raise £150,000 to provide vital funding for critical areas of need across the Courtauld, including driving ambitious, innovative research that transforms understanding of art and culture.
Research underpins everything we do at the Courtauld
We are internationally recognised for excellence in teaching and research across art history, conservation, curating, and art business. Our research culture drives academic innovation, and champions the vital importance to society of cultural knowledge, understanding, and practice.
As we approach our centenary in 2032, we reaffirm our commitment to expand and widen access to our world-leading research, and ensure that students, scholars, and the public can benefit from pioneering approaches and collaborative expertise led by our exceptional faculty and curators.
Every gift makes a difference
Your support powers ambitious and innovative work that shapes our understanding of the visual arts and addresses cultural and societal challenges, from expanding histories of medieval cultural life to developing the sustainable conservation practices of the future.
Help us inspire new thinking and empower the next generation of research leaders.
I am backing the Courtauld Fund Challenge today and I invite you to join me – your gift ensures that the Courtauld remains at the forefront of the global study of the visual arts.
Collectively, we can strengthen research that matters: connecting disciplines, communities, and ideas to create lasting change.
