Supporting Keble
Recognising your Gift...large or small
We think it’s important to recognise the kind support of our alumni and friends, and we say thank you in a number of ways.
All donors are named in our annual Impact Report – unless they want to remain anonymous – and regular donors become members of the ‘Talbot Society’. You can choose to support specific areas of College life via the Talbot Fund, and thereby gain membership of the ‘Friends of Keble College Chapel’, the ‘Keble Rowing Society’ or the ‘Keble Association’ as appropriate. The ‘Douglas Price Society’ is open to anyone who has told us that they intend to leave a gift in their will. All of these societies hold annual events to which members and their guests are invited.
Regular Giving through the Talbot Fund
Talbot Fund regular donors are acknowledged as follows:
- When you sign up for a regular gift (min. £5 p.m. or £60 p.a.) – you will receive a red pin and a red brick
- When you complete x5 years of regular giving – you will receive a blue pin
- When you complete x10 years of regular giving – you will receive a coveted golden dinosaur pin!

Naming opportunities
We offer naming opportunities related to buildings, posts, bursaries and scholarships where appropriate. Some benefactors may choose to honour relatives and eminent figures in this way. Most recently, Professor Diane Purkiss’s Tutorial Fellowship in English has been named after donor and alumnus William F Pollard, and Dr Ian Archer’s Fellowship has been named after Robert Stonehouse in honour of a donation from The Stonehouse Educational Foundation.
