From its foundation in 1853, the University of Melbourne’s alumni, staff, parents and friends have assured our University’s success through their generous philanthropic support.

Thanks in part to generations of far-sighted donors, the University of Melbourne is a global leader in research and education.

Community support ranges from annual gifts to the University Fund, to the funding of scholarships and teaching and learning facilities. Over the years, each gift has helped the University develop people and ideas of significant influence on Australian politics and government, business and the professions, science and research, the arts and civil society.

Today we invite you to continue the tradition by supporting the University. Please contact the Advancement Office if you would like to discuss - with complete confidentiality - how your gift to the University can have the greatest impact, and to explore strategic, tax-efficient ways to provide support.
