Gifting Day | Alumni & Community House

Hi everyone,

I am raising awareness and funds to help create an amazing space for our community through the University of Newcastle’s Gifting Day.

Alumni & Community House, built in the heart of Newcastle will be open for all; one of the few truly public spaces for our community.

Where everyone is welcome and feels a sense of belonging.

Where we will connect, collaborate and have our collective impact celebrated.

Where we will provide meeting, working, and event spaces for our community, non-profit partners, local businesses, students and our Alumni.

It will thread our communities together, elevating engagement with each other and the University.

Your tax-deductible donation today will help ensure this important space is realised for the community. And to recognise your generosity, every gift towards Alumni & Community House of $50 or more will be recognised within the building.

For generations to come, people will wander through this beautiful building to find the names of the kind people who made it possible.

The Great Hall was imagined and built as the symbolic heart of our University over fifty years ago, when community, industry and government united to raise more than $600,000 for its development.

More than 174,000+ alumni have proudly crossed its stage to accept their degrees and celebrate with family and friends.

Alumni & Community House will continue this wonderful tradition of our University being established by the community, for the community.

You can join the 189 people who have already made a contribution to help bring this amazing space to life for our community.

All donations of $2 or more are tax-deductible and 100 percent of your generous gift will directly support Alumni & Community House.1

Thank you so much for your kindness to shape a better tomorrow for people in our communities and the world.

1.Donations of $2 or more are tax deductible in Australia. The University of Newcastle covers all administration costs so that 100% of all funds raised goes directly to the cause supported.
