Strategic Development Fund

In 2008 the Said Business School Foundation (SBSF) set up a Strategic Development Fund in recognition that, at a time when the Said Business School was established and successful enough to be experiencing pressing growth issues, its alumni body was still too small and too young to provide the critical support which top business schools receive from their alumni. The purpose of the Fund is to support initiatives and opportunities which will make the greatest difference to the School’s successful and sustainable development. Annual funding of £1m is available. In 2009 the Foundation entered into an agreement with SBSF to provide this funding on an annual basis.

By the end of the 2010/11 year, the SDF will have granted or pledged around £4.5m for initiatives in the following areas.
