This transformative gift will establish LBS’s first-ever endowed research institute, strengthening the school’s position as a global leader in business education and thought leadership.
A Visionary Investment in Research and Lifelong Learning

This major philanthropic contribution reflects that spirit and will fuel groundbreaking research in areas such as:
- Longevity and business
- Longer lives and careers
- The future of work and society
The gift not only supports academic research but also reinforces LBS’s mission to walk the lifelong learning journey alongside its global MBA community.
Strengthening LBS’s Endowment and Campaign
With this donation, the LBS endowment will surpass £100 million, providing a stronger foundation to translate world-class research into practice and address some of the most pressing challenges facing business and society today.
This moment also marks a major milestone in the Forever Forward fundraising campaign, which has now exceeded £115 million thanks to the generosity of LBS alumni and supporters worldwide.
Shaping Business for the Better
In a time of global uncertainty and disruption, this extraordinary gift is a powerful endorsement of London Business School’s vision, leadership, and community. It affirms the institution’s role in shaping business for the better, inspiring current and future generations of business leaders around the world.
