About your donation
RMIT University (ABN 49 781 030 034) is registered as a charity with the ACNC and is endorsed by the Australian Tax Office as a Deductible Gift Recipient. RMIT can accept income tax deductible donations from individuals, corporations, trusts and foundations. An email receipt will be automatically sent to you once your donation has been processed. If you do not receive your receipt within an hour of donating, or if you have questions or would prefer to make your donation over the phone, please contact our Philanthropy Team directly on +61 3 9925 5220 during business hours or email us anytime at giving@rmit.edu.au.

All philanthropic gifts are held in the RMIT Philanthropic Fund which is managed by the Philanthropy Fund Committee in accordance with the University’s legislative and policy requirements, including our Sustainability Policy. Where it is no longer possible, practicable or productive for RMIT to apply a gift strictly in accordance with a donor’s stated original purpose or requirements, the gift will be applied in a way that we consider aligns with the donor’s intentions and the objective they have sought to achieve, through their generous support.
Donation management
All donations are deposited into the RMIT Philanthropic Fund and invested as per RMIT’s Responsible Investment Principles through our partnership with Russell Investments. The RMIT Philanthropy Fund is managed by the Philanthropy Fund Committee in accordance with the University’s legislative and policy requirements. Interest and earnings generated through investments are directed back into the endowment to support its ongoing success and impact.
