The Staff Donor Collective

When we unite as a collective, we create more impact than we can on our own

The Staff Donor Collective is a community of colleagues across the University who are creating positive change in the lives of many, through their generosity and passion to make our world a better place.

Through fortnightly pre-tax payroll donations, you can make a small contribution go a long way. When your generous donations are combined with those of your colleagues, it creates big impact for students facing hardship, through providing life-changing Shaping Futures Scholarships.

By joining the Staff Donor Collective, you will be invited to special events across the year, where you will meet the very students whose lives you’ve changed through your kindness. It’s also a fun, meaningful and impactful way to meet likeminded colleagues.

Plus, your support of any University project through the Staff Donor Collective, will be matched dollar for dollar. Which means double the impact, with 100% of your donation directed to the cause that matters most to you.1

Let’s create a better tomorrow, together.
