Setting up a Named Research Fellowship

As a small charity Oracle offers a highly personalised and rewarding way for major donors to ensure their gift is utilised in the most effective way.

Some donors prefer to make a one-off donation to support a particular project with other donors raising sums over a set period of time to support a particular project. However you wish to donate to Oracle, we will work with you ensure your major gift is recognised in the most effective way.

By committing to cover the costs of a particular research project, you will receive a number of unique benefits on the impact and progress of your funded project.

Fellowships are set up for a number of reasons: to restrict a major gift; to remember an individual; to collect the fundraising proceeds from a group of individuals or company employees. If you are interested in discussing the option of setting up your own Fellowship, please contact us.
