History
King's College recognised the importance of external fund-raising during the 1970s, and the Development Trust was set up to co-ordinate efforts. This later became the Development Office in 1993 and recently the Development and Alumni Office. It helps organise funding bids and fund-raising among alumni and has a close working relationship with the King's College London Association (KCLA), which is an independent alumni body comprising volunteers, and which focuses on reunions and maintaining links between past and present students and staff.
