Immediate Impact through the annual fund

The Annual Fund is money donated by the alumni and friends of the University who are keen to invest in the mission of UWA by providing support for our current and future students, academic programs and university priorities, including areas of greatest need.

Since 2001, over 9800 UWA alumni have donated more than $5 million to the Annual Fund.

Thanks to the generosity of our alumni and many other supporters, we are able to offer a vibrant and enriching experience that will transform the lives and aspirations of our students.

It gives me the chance to help others in ways I could not otherwise achieve and is a great example of how UWA, and its alumni group, empowers its students to give back meaningfully to the community.

Why give to the Annual Fund?

As UWA alumni, you know the difference a university education has made to your life. Now you can ensure others have the same opportunity, simply by making a donation.

As a university, we provide people with the skills and quality learning environments to help them make their mark on the world. The University of Western Australia is aiming to be one of the world’s top 50 universities by the year 2050. That vision requires the financial support of our alumni to help us:


New Annual Fund grants

We are excited to announce a new grant opportunity for the Annual Fund. Money donated by our generous alumni and supporters will provide grants for innovative projects and activities that enhance the student experience and the University community.
