Donate
Help disadvantaged Federation students start or continue their studies by making a donation, arranging a bequest or setting up a regular payment.
If you’re thinking of giving to Federation, firstly – thank you. We appreciate it. Secondly – there are different ways to support our students. You can make a one-off donation, you can arrange a bequest, or – if you work at Federation – you can set up a regular payment. The amount is up to you. Every bit helps.
Donations
To make a one-off donation of $10 or more, please fill out the form below to pay via American Express, Visa or Mastercard. If you'd like to pay via cash, cheque, BPAY or direct deposit, email us via foundation@federation.edu.au or call (03) 5327 9929.
All gifts of $2 or more are tax deductible (and we’ll send you an official receipt for tax purposes).
Bequests
Arranging a bequest means leaving a gift to Federation in your will. There are different ways to do this:
Pecuniary bequest
A fixed amount of money.
Gift in kind
A non-monetary donation, such as artworks, books or property.
Residual bequest
The remainder (or residue) of your estate after all debts, charges and gifts have been deducted.
Percentage of residual bequest
A percentage of the remainder of your estate after all debts, charges and gifts have been deducted.
Percentage bequest
A predetermined percentage of your total estate.
If you leave money to Federation, you can tell us how you’d like it to be spent. It could go towards a scholarship, specific discipline area or research project, or to fund a new building or facility on one of our campuses.
All bequest information is kept confidential and is not legally binding. If you’re interested in leaving a bequest, please complete the information form.

Staff giving
You can show your support from as little as $5 per fortnight, knowing that 100% of your donation will go towards staff scholarships awarded to higher education and TAFE students, both domestic and international.
You can choose to make either after-tax or pre-tax (salary sacrifice) contributions. After-tax contributions (above $2) are tax deductible. Pre-tax contributions through salary sacrifice are not tax deductible; however, you would obtain a tax benefit through a reduced income tax liability. Salary sacrifice contributions are not subject to fringe benefits tax. The University is a registered charity with deductible gift recipient status.
Interested? Set up a fortnightly payroll deduction, either 'after tax' or by salary sacrifice (pre-tax) contributions, or provide a one-off donation, by filling out the Staff Giving form.
