LSE Entrepreneurs' Pledge

Join an exclusive community of entrepreneurs with a passion for LSE’s work, ideals and vision to shape the world.

What is the LSE Entrepreneurs’ Pledge?

The LSE Entrepreneurs' Pledge, delivered in collaboration with LSE Generate, is a brand-new giving opportunity, inviting our growing community of entrepreneurs and innovators to pledge their support to the School today – but only make the donation when they are in a position to do so. 

The LSE alumni community includes many entrepreneurs and founders from all around the globe. If you are one of them, you are invited to make a personal, non-binding pledge now to support LSE in the future.

Sign the Entrepreneurs' Pledge

  • Name
  • I would like to make the LSE Entrepreneurs’ Pledge. I am indicating that I wish to support the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) philanthropically in the future with a portion of my proceeds from an exit/liquidity event of my business.

    Our alumni, donors, friends and strategic partners are very important to us and we value the relationship we have with you. You are valued members of the wider LSE community and we aim to keep you up to date with School and community news, events, opportunities and benefits through our tailored communications. We are committed to holding your data securely and using it responsibly to improve our communications and develop our mutually beneficial relationships with you – and to advance our alumni, philanthropy and corporate partnership programmes. Our Privacy Statement provides clear information on how LSE Philanthropy and Global Engagement (PAGE) continues to responsibly handle, protect and use your personal information to continue your conversation with LSE.

Your future gift can support whatever area of LSE matters most to you. You may choose to champion an enterprise initiative through LSE Generate. Or you may choose to fund a scholarship to support a student to pursue their LSE education. Or you may choose to help us shape the world through funding research into the global challenges LSE's world-leading academics are working on. In short: you control the amount, timing, and destination of your eventual gift to LSE. As an entrepreneur you are already helping to innovate the future; your gift can help power the next generation of founders, scholars and experts.

LSE welcomes all entrepreneurial alumni to join this growing community through the Entrepreneurs’ Pledge.

To find out more, please email Harry Hughes, Philanthropy Manager, at: a.hughes2@lse.ac.uk.

Then, when you are in a position and ready to share your success, usually upon experiencing a liquidity event, let us know.

You have full control of the amount, timing, and destination of your eventual gift to LSE.
