Reaching Their Goals
Off the back of an incredibly difficult 2 years, Sydney University Sport & Fitness
has experienced lean times during the pandemic and this has proved challenging
to continue providing the level of support we pride ourselves on.
With your generous support, we will be able to continue to offer support to the next generation of athletes looking to compete at this years Commonwealth Games and beyond.
Pursuing excellence in tertiary studies and sport simultaneously can be especially challenging. Donations to sporting scholarships, sport in general or specific sports clubs at the University of Sydney helps provide tremendous support to student athletes so that they may achieve their ultimate sporting and academic goals.
It is our strong hope that with your philanthropic donations, we can reach our Five by ’25 target to support our Elite Athlete Program and sporting clubs for many years to come.
If you choose for your donation to support sport in general, the University of Sydney Sports Foundation will thoughtfully determine the purpose for which your funding will be utilised. The Foundation works closely with Sydney Uni Sport & Fitness and the University of Sydney to ensure that such unencumbered generous contributions are directed towards prioritised areas.
Alternatively, there are some 40+ Sydney University sports clubs affiliated with Sydney Uni Sport & Fitness. For several sports, to facilitate targeted fundraising for the associated Sydney University sports clubs and athletes, Divisions of the University of Sydney Foundation have been established (as outlined below). You can choose to support a specific Division of the University of Sydney Foundation:
- Athletics Division
- Australian Rules Football Division
- Cricket Division
- Hockey Division
- Rowing Division
- Soccer Football Division
- Water Polo Club Division
- General Sport Division (for all other clubs)
