In December 2006 the OCHS began an Annual Revenue Fund Campaign.
The Annual Revenue Fund covers the costs of all the regular, ongoing activities that go with running an academic centre in Oxford. Datailed summaries of these costs are shown in the OCHS Case for Support document.
The aim of this campaign is to raise funding of £250,000 per year for five years (2007-11). This will enable us to make the essential academic and administrative appointments necessary to maintain our educational ethos and develop our ability to facilitate gifted students and scholars.
Although only launched in December 2006, this campaign, headed by Lord Dholakia, has reached 45% of its target.
At the campaign launch Lord Dholakia said: "In 2006 the OCHS received official recognition from Oxford University. Now is the time for us to get behind the Centre financially. The Centre is something we can all be truly proud of and it can flourish, if we support it."
