The strength of the Talbot Fund lies in the
fact that it is the collective effort of regular,
affordable gifts from Old Members and
Friends which are applied to support all Keble
students. Nearly 40% of Old Members have
made a gift to the Talbot Fund so far.
This level of support has a significant impact
on the academic resources available at Keble
and the breadth of extra-curricular activities
which bring vitality to the community life of
the College. We aim to continue to provide
sufficient bursaries and scholarships so that
academic merit, not financial background, is
the determining factor for applicants to Keble.

Just over £4m
has been raised
towards the
Talbot Fund to
date. Almost
£600,000 in
new gifts has been pledged this
year in response to personal visits, the annual
Telethon, the ‘Pick a Brick’ postal appeal and the
tear-off donations forms in the brick each term.
In accordance with Oxford Collegiate
Benchmarking principles, regular gifts to the
Talbot Fund are calculated over five years. This
helps Keble to predict future income flow with
confidence. Whilst the Pipe Organ appeal has
greatly increased the number of designated
gifts for capital projects in recent years, the
overwhelming majority of donors continue to
make undesignated gifts enabling the College
to allocate funding to the area of greatest need
on an annual basis.
T
he Douglas Price Society
enables Keble to thank
all those who have made a
commitment to support the
College in their will. The 2011
Society event held in May
included a topical debate with
teams combining Old Members
and undergraduates.
The Warden and members
expressed their gratitude to the
outgoing founding President
Andreas Whittam Smith (1957)
for his dedication to the Society
and in particular to increasing the
membership. We also welcomed
new President Andrew Pengelly
(1961) and Jackie Newbury (1979)
in the new role of Vice President.
During the year legacies totalling
£77k were received from Revd R
L Brown, Mr H K Douglass, Mr C
D Forsyth, Dr A S Gardiner, Brig D
V Henchley, Revd J B T Homfray,
Mr W H G Millinship, Mr B W
Moseley, Mr G P G Purnell, and The
Frederick and Nellie Causebrook
Memorial Trust.
The graph shows the percentage
of Old Members making a
gift each year. Keble shows a
very encouraging trend. This
steady increase in participation,
consistently above the average
across the University since 2005-
6, bodes very well for the future of
our fundraising potential. In 2009-
10 our annual participation rate
had risen to 21.2%, in the last 12
months this has increased to 24%.

2010/11
Blue:
the distinctive, much prized slate
The jewel in the crown, adding depth and flair, setting Keble and its students apart.
Talbot Fund: Academic Support
Providing vital scholarships and bursaries to ensur that financial means is no barrier
to a Keble education and helping to fund teaching to support the tutorial system.
If
half
our Old Members gave
£30
per month, in five years this would
fund
60
students bursaries in perpetuity.
White:
creative, inventive, flamboyant stone
A choreographed cacophony of design and pattern interwoven into the fabric of support.
Talbot Fund: Community
Enriching the life of each student and encouraging individual talents, passions
and interest in music, ports and drama.
500
Old Members donating
£25
per month, for just one year
will support the drama club and
Keble plays
in perpetuity.
Terracotta:
the building blocks
Serried ranks of strong colour providing crucial support and background to the more
flamboyant white and blue bricks.
Talbot Fund: Capital Projects
Some of the gems of Butterfield’s vision to preserve for future generations include the
Hall, Library and Chapel all overlooking our beautiful quads.
If
1,000
Old Members donate
£10
per month, in two years this would pay
for the next phase of the restoration of the
Butterfield
study/bedrooms.
