–WHAT WE DO

– WE CAMPAIGN FOR CHANGE The Change It. For Good. Campaign was launched in 2018 and is the largest public fundraising initiative in Monash history. It sets out to achieve three goals: raise $500 million from a community of 50,000 donors, and to double the number of bequests made to Monash. Our community of supporters are changing it with life-saving discoveries, accessible education, breakthrough research and vibrant communities. – WE BENEFIT THE COMMUNITY With proud roots in Melbourne, we enable diverse people and organisations to work with Monash to enrich our communities through a number of projects and initiatives such as the Monash Law Clinics which provides free access to justice for thousands of Victorians in need, and the Ian Potter Centre for Performing Arts which provides access to world-class arts facilities in Melbourne’s south-east.

– WE HAVE GLOBAL IMPACT The gifts we facilitate go directly toward supporting programs that are making a difference far beyond our base in Melbourne. From supporting the World Mosquito Program to eliminate Dengue fever, to Inhaled Oxytocin research aiming to prevent thousands of unnecessary deaths due to post-partum haemorrhage, the difference we are making extends to some of the most vulnerable communities worldwide.
