Fundraising @ Abertay

Abertay has recently launched a new Fundraising microsite! Why? In the words of one friend, ‘I didn’t know that we could donate.’

Our new site makes raising or giving money to the University a much easier process than it once was.

If you’re interested in donating, explore the site where you’ll find information about how to do so at a level that works for you. You can also find out about who and how our previous donors have helped by reading stories from student’s who’ve benefited from funds raised.

If you can, help us to unlock new futures and transform lives.
