Vice-Chancellor’s Fund takes off
Macquarie supporters are helping to make ground-breaking discoveries in medicine as well as making education accessible to promising students, whatever their financial circumstance.
Following a calling campaign that ran for nine weeks from November to February 413 donors have given $136,084.19, with a further $500,000 in outstanding pledges to be fulfilled over next five years.
The Vice-Chancellor’s Fund supports medical and other vital research and gives young people access to higher education that they might otherwise miss out on.
The work being done by the fund was significantly enhanced by a generous anonymous donor, who matched the first 100 pledges of $40 per month to the Vice-Chancellor’s Fund dollar for dollar for the first year.
We are very grateful to all of our generous supporters, with gifts to the Vice-Chancellor’s Fund giving us the flexibility to help the many other needs and opportunities across the campus every year that would otherwise go unanswered, from supporting promising new research that has the power to change lives, to helping promising students who just need a hand.
