Submit a Project Idea!

We are proud to promote the University's crowdfunding platform where you can apply to raise funds for University initiatives that YOU care about.

Below are some of the areas the University crowdfunds for:

Important University research projects.
Innovative University programs.
In celebration of someone's birthday, life or passing (in this instance the funds raised would go to a University area, research project or program). For memorial fundraising please contact the University directly via isabella.andrews@sydney.edu.au or +61 8627 7260

It is important to note that not all project applications will be deemed appropriate for crowdfunding. Successful applicants are those whose projects clearly demonstrate the following:

The project/program/research promotes the University's values and objectives.
The project/program/research is taking place at the University.
The University project/program/research is being undertaken by at least one of University's schools, faculties or multidisciplinary initiatives (for example: Charles Perkins Centre, Brain and Mind Centre, etc.)
The project campaigner (the individual/researcher/team submitting the application) has a supportive network base who will donate to the project (at least 25).
The project campaigner understands their role, being responsible for contacting their networks for donations via multiple platforms such as email, telephone, social media and face to face fundraising.

Please note that we will only consider applications that have been fully completed. Please email isabella.andrews@sydney.edu.au or call +61(2) 8627 7260 should you have any questions or queries.
