Each of us can make a difference.
Together we can create change.
Many kind and generous people like you, choose to make a gift in their Will to create transformational impact, honour a loved one, or to give back as a thank you for education received. Others simply trust that their visionary support will make a lasting difference to the priority needs of the future.
Leaving a gift in your Will to The University of Queensland has far-reaching benefits to our community, great nation and the world.
While our research encompasses almost every aspect of life, we are also providing palpable solutions to some of the most pressing issues of our time such as dementia, stroke, growing societal disadvantage and the impending effects of climate change.
The gift you leave in your Will could bring about the solution to one of these big issues or support something you care deeply about.
Regardless the size of your gift or where you direct the gift, it will drive positive change and deliver long-term impact to the community.
Our promise to you - 100% of your gift will be purposed according to your wishes.
