In the US, donating to your alma mater is the most usual thing in the world. But here, too, thousands of Leiden alumni donate funds to teaching and research at their University. Thanks to their support, scientists and academics are able to work on pioneering research in the areas of health, security, sustainability and other societal themes, and talented students and young researchers have the chance to achieve their ambitions.

Committee for Academic Expenditure (CWB)

Have you considered including the Leiden University Fund in your will? This is a way to give future generations of scholars and students the opportunity to develop their talents and to make a valuable contribution to society, and ensures that your ideals live on in academic endeavour.

For students, the Leiden University Fund has a Student Membership. With your gift you support a student or study association in Leiden or The Hague, but also receive discounts for various activities in Leiden and The Hague.
