Donor Recognition

We are extremely grateful to every single donor who supports Downe House. All donors to the School will receive our regular campaign communications, demonstrating the impact of your gift, be invited to our annual donor event and be listed in the annual Impact Report (unless anonymous). We recognise those donors who make transformational donations by inviting them to join one of our three recognition groups:

Fellows – £1,000,000+ 

Fellows are our leading donors. Individuals who have pledged or made a donation (or donations) worth more than £1m have the opportunity to become ‘Fellows of Downe House’. Fellows are given a specially commissioned medal. Donors who have made a legacy pledge of at least £1m can also become Fellows. 

 

Benefactors – £500,000+ 

Benefactors are making transformational donations to the School. Individuals who have pledged or made a donation (or donations) worth more than £500,000 have the chance to become benefactors. Benefactors will be invited to an annual dinner with the Headmistress.
