Thank You!
Keble College Impact Report 2025-26
It is a pleasure to introduce this year’s Impact Report and to express my sincere thanks to everyone whose generosity and commitment continue to shape Keble’s future.
2025–26 has been another successful year for the College. We received £6.4 million in donations, our third-highest annual total, while our endowment passed the £100 million milestone to reach £101.8 million. These achievements reflect the continued loyalty and support of our alumni and friends and provide a strong foundation for future generations.
From major gifts and generous legacies to the collective impact of regular giving, every contribution makes a difference. Your support safeguards our tutorial teaching, enables important research, creates scholarships and bursaries, and helps ensure that talented students can flourish, whatever their circumstances.
As you read this report, I hope you will take pride in the difference your support is making across the College. On behalf of the whole Keble community, I am delighted to have this opportunity to thank you for your generosity, your friendship and your continued commitment to the College and its future.

2024 MBiol Biology
“I would like to thank the Keble Association for its generous support, which enabled me to make use of this amazing opportunity. The experience was invaluable, both academically and personally. It provided firsthand exposure to tropical research and deepened my appreciation of both the extraordinary biodiversity of primary rainforest and the urgent challenges posed by anthropogenic land use change and habitat loss.”

Dr Tyler Brown, 2021 MPhil Theology
Junior Research Fellow in New Testament Studies
“It is a great privilege to have been appointed to the Junior Research Fellowship in New Testament Studies at Keble. I came to Oxford from the USA for the MPhil in 2021 and completed the DPhil in 2025, and the College formed an ideal setting for those studies. The Fellowship allows me to build on that momentum. I am grateful to the McDonald Agape Foundation for generously making the post possible.”
