Support the tenth CQUniCares Appeal. Together we create change.

We're celebrating ten years of the CQUniCares Appeal this year! During that time, with the support of our generous donors, we’ve raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for causes that matter and created real impact for our students and our communities.

This year's Appeal is taking place 23 - 27 June. Funds raised will support three important causes.

Support one deserving cause (or all three):

  • U-BEACH Project: Funding for specialist equipment and training to help people living with a disability or mobility limitations to access and enjoy the beach. 
  • CQUniCares Student Success Scholarships: Ensuring every student has the support they need to overcome the financial challenges of studying.
  • Indigenous Sea Ranger Education: Training provided by CQUniversity's Coastal Marine Ecosystems Research Centre (CMERC), upskilling rangers to undertake conservation work related to seagrass meadow restoration.

Choose a cause that aligns with your interests and passions, knowing that 100% of your gift will go directly to your chosen area. All gifts over $2 are tax deductible. 

Your contribution, no matter how large or small, will have a lasting impact.

Transcript

Hi. I’m Professor Nick Klomp, the Vice-Chancellor and President of CQUniversity.

For ten years, the CQUniCares Appeal has been changing lives. In that time, with the support of our generous donors, we’ve raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for causes that matter, and created real impact for our students and our communities.

This year’s appeal runs from the 23rd to the 27th of June. Just a week - short and sharp. And we’d love for you to be part of it.

You can choose to support one of three deserving initiatives – scholarships for students facing financial hardships; improved beach access for people living with disability; or Indigenous Sea Ranger training through our Coastal Marine Ecosystems Research Centre (CMERC).

You can also help by simply spreading the word through email or social media. Every act of support counts. 

Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning, or you’re giving for the first time, thank you for being part of this journey.

Let’s make the tenth CQUniCares Appeal the most impactful yet. Together, we really do change lives.

Thank you.

Thank you

Thanks to the generosity of more than 150 alumni, staff, students and community partners, over $28,000 was raised during the 2024 Appeal.
