If you’re thinking about making a more significant contribution to an area that’s meaningful to you, we’d love to hear from you. It may be helping a young person from rural Victoria to achieve their dream of university study; contributing to research in finding a cure for an illness you’ve lost a loved-one to; or helping to ensure Indigenous Knowledge is better understood and applied to solve contemporary Australian challenges. Whatever your philanthropic goals, our team is available to help you accomplish them.
If you'd like to make an immediate donation, visit our secure online donation portal. Choose a once-off or ongoing donation to one of our three key priority funds to build educational opportunity and research impact.
Also known as a bequest, a gift in your Will is a donation made as part of your overall financial or estate planning. It's a wonderful way to leave a lasting legacy and make a positive impact on causes you've been passionate about during your lifetime.
Why not donate to the University through fortnightly payroll deductions via the Deakin GIVE program? You can make a tangible impact on areas that are meaningful to you while receiving an immediate tax-deduction for your generosity.
Deakin participates in the Commonwealth Government’s Cultural Gift Program, which supports individuals, companies, trusts or other type of taxpayers to make cultural gifts of art, books, scientific materials, manuscripts and more. If you're considering making a cultural gift, we encourage you to partner it with an additional cash donation to help enable us to take appropriate care of your gift for future generations to enjoy. For more information on how to make a cultural gift, please email our team.
Deakin has established programs in the United States and United Kingdom to support donors wanting to make tax-effective donations in those countries. Please visit the Chapel & York Foundation website at the relevant link below to make a donation.
Deakin welcomes gifts of endowment – donations that are invested over the long-term, where only the annual interest is used to fund scholarship or research programs. Supporting endowment means your donation continues to live on for future generations, having an impact for perpetuity.
