Leave a donation in your Will

Support Research: Help our researchers to meet the big challenges that improve and save lives.

Support a Student: Establish a scholarship to support students in financial need to complete their studies, or a specific area of study that resonates with you, or to increase access to education for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Establish an Academic Position: Fund globally recognised teachers, scholars and trailblazers to inspire the next generation at Flinders University.

Enhance Teaching, Learning and Research Facilities: Contribute to funding a new building, a laboratory or much-needed equipment.

Preserve and Enhance the Library or Art Museum: Ensure valuable learning resources and cultural collections are preserved or expanded for future generations.

Highest Priority: Make an unrestricted bequest which the University can direct to the most vital areas of need at the time.

Creating or updating a Will is usually carried out by a solicitor. The Public Trustee in your State or Territory can provide advice on making a Will and help you find a solicitor. Read advice for South Australians.

If you already have a Will, a Codicil (or supplement) is a quick and easy way to add a bequest to your Will. 

Once you have spoken with the University's Advancement team to determine how to best fulfull your wishes through a bequest, download the wording your solicitor will need to enact your bequest.

Flinders University's Karmel Endowment Fund holds donations for a wide range of purposes including the funding of research projects, prizes for students and scholarships. Your gift will be managed in the Fund and used according to your wishes.

The responsibility for monitoring the Fund lies with the Chief Financial Officer and the University’s Finance Committee and Council. Performance reports are provided monthly by Fund Managers, and reports are provided for each Finance Committee meeting to enable timely monitoring to occur.

100% of your bequest to Flinders University will support your wishes — none of the funding is used to administer the gift.

Please let us know if you have included a bequest in your Will to Flinders University. We appreciate your commitment to making a difference for future generations and welcome the opportunity to thank you.

We would also like to invite you to special events, including the Vice-Chancellor’s annual lunch with our Bequest Collective, and our annual Impact of Giving afternoon tea, hosted by the Vice-Chancellor.
