Join our Board of Benefactors

Our Board of Benefactors is a remarkable group of supporters who are changing the face of University philanthropy with their transformational gifts.

Members of our Board of Benefactors play a vital role in creating a financially sustainable future for the University, which will benefit staff, students and our wider society today and for generations to come. These generous donors have pledged or given gifts of $25,000 or more.

Endowment gifts offer lasting support

An endowment gift is an investment that will last forever. Every gift from our Board of Benefactors contributes to an endowment fund. Each gift is invested, and the income it generates is used to support University projects.

Matching your gift to your passion

One of the most important questions we ask our Board of Benefactors members is: what are you passionate about?

Linking your endowment gift to an area that is significant to you creates a meaningful legacy. You may wish to direct your gift to a particular area, including:

  • a School or Faculty
  • an area of research
  • our students
