UWS Development

Developing revenue and relationships

UWS Development leads activity and strategy to develop fundraising revenue and relationships for the University. It works to ensure that a strong culture of philanthropic giving advances its teaching, learning and research agendas.

It integrates all UWS activities related to fundraising – donations and sponsorship – including the activities of the University’s charitable entities.

It ensures effective promotion of the University through development of strong and positive relationships with benefactors, government, industry, philanthropic trusts and foundations and the community generally.

UWS Development provides leadership and advocacy to the University’s Executive, the UWS Foundation Board, Hawkesbury Foundation Board and UWS staff and students on issues and strategies that affect the University’s opportunity to raise funds through donations and sponsorships.

The Development team works to build relationships with individuals, business partners and friends of the University to advance and promote philanthropy across all the University's campuses in Greater Western Sydney. The Development team also works closely with senior staff and academics.
