Donations Framework

At the University of Melbourne, we deeply value the relationships we build with our generous donors. We're committed to fostering a relationship that's meaningful and transparent. Donors often have specific wishes for their gift, which we welcome, and we then work in partnership to shape a contribution that aligns with both their vision and the University's objectives.

To ensure the integrity of our academic processes and to protect the reputation of both our donors and the University, we've developed a donations framework that provides guidance to assist both potential donors and University staff in understanding where boundaries to donor involvement lie.

This guidance helps navigate the exciting possibilities of potential gifts while preserving the independence of our academic decisions.
