WHO ARE WE SUPPORTING?

UOW Cares allows you to choose who you would like to support from eight charities and two internal causes selected by a committee representing staff. The number of charities was limited so that staff donations will have a meaningful impact. The chosen charities cover a broad range of community and humanitarian needs.

As a participant in this program your selected charity/ies will provide information on how your donations are being used and the impact they are having in the community.

The amount you give is entirely up to you and you can even donate to more than one charity from the list:

• The Smith Family’s Learning for Life program (educational disadvantage).
• Cancer Council NSW (medical research and education).
• The Fred Hollows Foundation (eye disease in remote regions).
• The South Coast School for Children with Autism.
• Australian Conservation Foundation (conservation/environment).
• Oxfam Australia (humanitarian and emergency aid).
• Indigo Foundation (community development).
• RSPCA (animal welfare).
• UOW Equity Fund (educational disadvantage).
• UOW Research and Innovation Fund (community related research).

Read more about each charity and cause by downloading the UOW Cares booklet (pdf).
