Because of you
At The University of Queensland, we gratefully acknowledge the collective impact of our philanthropic community.
UQ recognises and celebrates the important role philanthropy plays in supporting its mission and strategic priorities. We are extremely grateful to all donors for their generous support and are committed to developing lifelong relationships of mutual trust and respect. The Donor Charter outlines our commitments to donors.
Our donors will have regular opportunities to see the positive impact they have made on the UQ community and where appropriate, will receive invitations to University events which provide an opportunity to engage with students, researchers and University leaders. We invite you to join us to witness the difference your gifts are already making in the lives of students, researchers and teachers here.
While giving at all levels is valued at UQ, our giving societies have been established to specifically recognise leadership, legacy and loyalty within our donor community – as outlined below.
