Now, more than ever, the world needs ethical and effective leaders who act with integrity and inspire hope. At the Oxford Character Project, we have spent the last decade producing industry-informed research and developing award-winning training programmes on character and leadership.

With new investment, we can help equip emerging leaders across the globe with the character qualities needed to tackle today’s most urgent challenges.

Support the next generation of wise thinkers and good leaders at this critical time by becoming a donor to the Oxford Character Project.

Partner with us

Nearly USD 90 billion is spent on leadership development each year. Investment in how character drives good leadership, however, remains minimal. We are committed to closing this gap. We work with our partners to develop ethical and effective leaders and strengthen the institutions and companies they serve.

We collaborate with leaders across business, government, and the non-profit sector to:

  • Conduct the highest quality, industry-informed research to better understand, measure, and develop character in leadership within specific contexts and geographies.
  • Translate research into actionable insights to drive real change.
  • Design and deliver training programmes that are proven to cultivate character and improve leadership.

Contact us to discuss your partnership or philanthropic goals. Email Karishma Samtani, our Communications and Partnerships Manager, at karishma.samtani@politics.ox.ac.uk.
