Every contribution, small or large, helps Saïd Business School further its purpose and develop the leaders, the knowledge, and the new thinking that business needs to address world-scale challenges and create a better future for everyone.
To understand more about the impact of gifts given to the School, please read our digital donor reports.
We are delighted to recognise the generosity of our donors. All of our donors are recognised within our annual Impact Report and we offer a variety of other formal means of acknowledgment.
The Deans’ Cloister is named in honour of the School's former Deans. Leading scholars in their fields, they have established Oxford Saïd as one of the world’s elite business schools, with a strong sense of its own distinctive purpose: to prepare business leaders for the task of making the world a better and more equitable place.
The Roll of Honour, displayed in the Deans' Cloister, celebrates donors in our community who gave gifts above the required threshold on Giving Day.
The Rewley Circle recognises contributions to the School, and affords members an invite to the annual Rewley Lecture & Dinner which forms the centrepiece of our benefactors' programme.
The event provides an opportunity for us to celebrate the generosity of our donors and express our gratitude for their support. It also allows our benefactors to meet with other supporters of the School, as well as those who have benefitted from their support. The evening consists of the lecture given by a distinguished speaker, followed by drinks, dinner and conversation.
The Dean’s Circle is an exclusive group of our most generous and loyal supporters who share in the vision of Oxford Saïd. Members receive bespoke communications and have opportunities to meet with the Dean, members of the School community, and other valued supporters.
Members are invited to select events throughout the year, including the annual Rewley Lecture & Dinner, and are recognised in the main atrium space of Park End Street.
There are spaces available to name in both Park End Street and the Global Leadership Centre (set to open in 2025).
Donors to Saïd Business School are also eligible for recognition by the University.
Oxford University's vision for a business school was made possible by a generous donation from Mr Wafic Saïd.
Mr Saïd has continued to give generously for 20 years.
