Creating a brighter future for all
At Griffith University, we are committed to creating a brighter future for all.
In 2019, we launched our first comprehensive philanthropic campaign to deepen our partnerships with alumni, donors and supporters, enabling life‑changing scholarships and transformative research to deliver greater impact for students, communities and the world around us.
With an ambitious goal of raising $125 million, we are proud to have now reached this milestone, thanks to the extraordinary generosity of our philanthropic community. This achievement is already making a difference – from scholarships that level the playing field, to research with the potential to save lives and strengthen communities.
Our campaign was guided by five key philanthropic priorities, where together with our partners we are pioneering new ways to help those who need it most.
Together, we are doing the things that matter today to create
a brighter future for all.
Meaningful engagement with our alumni community
Your University. Your Community.
Our aspiration of a brighter future for all also includes how we best engage the talents and motivations of our alumni, the largest part of our Griffith community.
As a result, we aim to have 100,000 meaningful engagements with our alumni through Campaign building on opportunities for volunteering, mentoring, networking and communications.

“The Brighter Futures Scholarship has been tremendously helpful. It has given me the stability and peace of mind to keep my attention focused on my studies.
I will be forever grateful, and I will continue to give back to others as my way of saying thank you.”

“Protection of primary forests is now at a critical point—if we are unable to protect our primary forests, we will not reach global climate action targets or the goals of the new Global Biodiversity Framework.”

“This whole parasite malaria vaccine is the first of its kind because it could be freeze-dried into a powder or frozen without losing its effectiveness. This means it can be easily deployed into malaria endemic countries.”
