Support Sydney Law School

To provide world class legal research and education, Sydney Law School relies on the generous participation and support of its alumni and the wider community.

Law provides a critical foundation for civil society and its sustainable development. At Sydney, we are preparing our graduates to make a difference, both locally and internationally.

The pride our benefactors take in Australia’s first law school and their farsighted vision for its future success, help to contribute a “margin of excellence” that is critical to our ability to compete with leading institutions around the world.

Thank you.

1. Annual Gifts

- Added together, annual gifts - which can be made via the University Development Fund or direct to the Law School – are of significant strategic value. Unrestricted gifts are used to take advantage of new and emerging opportunities, identified as The Dean’s Priorities.

2. Major Gifts

- A major gift will make a critical difference to an area of legal scholarship or teaching that is of special importance to you. Each and every week, faculty are creating and imparting knowledge on human rights, child protection, global health, the environment… and many other crucial legal issues.

• As well as making your donation outright, you can pledge to fulfil it over two or more years – helping you to plan your financial affairs while you demonstrate your confidence in Sydney Law School’s future.

3. Planned Gifts

- We’re delighted to discuss options for bequests, gifts of shares, assets or property. By informing us that you have made a provision to Sydney Law School in your Estate, not only do you help us to plan for the future – you make it possible for us to acknowledge and recognise your support in your lifetime, through membership of The Challis Society.
