Donations & Fundraising
How Donations help?
Donations raised thus far have been invested in redeveloping the TI website, improving the infrastructure such as IT and library facilities and increasing the Institute’s visibility through promotional activities. A number of Student and Graduate competitions, awards as well as apprenticeships have been funded utilising the Foundation Funds.
Phase 3 of the Foundation Fund will be revitalised in 2021 with the launch of the new website and on an already strong base. It will provide support (but not limited to) Student and Graduate Competitions, awards and bursaries, special projects and the development of the Institutes portfolio of services to members and the associated textile industries worldwide.
In addition The Textile Institute welcomes donations and project ideas from industry and non-members.
If you would like to make a donation or make a proposal, please contact Stephanie Dick, Chief Executive Officer via email tiihq@textileinst.org.uk
Money within the Foundation is separately recognised and administrated within the Institute’s accounts and is overseen by the Honorary Officers.
