Celebrate 30 Years of IDBE / SLBE with a gift!

Join us in strengthening the future of education for the built environment. 

For three decades, the IDBE course at Wolfson College, University of Cambridge, has been at the forefront of shaping leaders in the built environment. As we celebrate this milestone and look forward to the next 30 years as the Sustainability Leadership for the Built Environment (SLBE) course, we aim to expand access to talented individuals who may otherwise be unable to participate. By making a gift towards a new studentship, you will ensure that the next generation of designers, engineers, and sustainability experts can benefit from this transformative program. 

Help us raise at least £10,000 to fund a needs-based studentship this coming year.

We also hope to establish an endowed fund to provide studentships for the built environment on an ongoing basis. Please contact development@wolfson.cam.ac.uk if you would like to learn more about this opportunity. 

Make a gift using the form below, or find more ways to support on our website (please include "IDBE" in your reference or comment).
