**Queen’s University Belfast Foundation increased its income in 2015 by over £500,000
due mainly to a growth in individual donations, according to its latest accounts.**

Total income was £14.9 million last year against £14.3 million in 2014. Of the total
figure for 2015, £13.6 million was received in cash and pledges for future use came
in at £1.9  million.

Atlantic Philanthropies continues to be the biggest donor to the [Queen’s University Belfast Foundation](http://www.queensfoundation.com),
with £8.7 million received in 2015 for medicine, shared education and ‘improving
children’s lives.’ Total trust income was £12.4 million.

Individual income was just over £1 million, from £700,000 in 2014. The Foundation
says 11,000 alumni were contacted through two telephone fundraising campaigns, including
one in North America.  £332,000 was raised through donations to the annual fund 
which supports sport, medical funds and scholarships.

Legacy income, after benefiting from an exceptional gift of £2 million in 2014, 
fell from £2.6 million to £375,000.

Corporate income fell slightly, from £1.2 million to just over £1 million last year.

The Foundation says it is reviewing its board to reach the ‘required refreshment’
to meet the needs of its new fundraising campaign, Vision 2020.
