Development – of mutually beneficial relationships With the advent of declining Federal support and rising cost of higher education both for the University and our students; the Development team’s raison d’être is to build and maintain strong relationships with you – our valued alumni, philanthropic individuals, families, trusts and foundations, business leaders and corporate supporters. Private philanthropy is essential for sustaining the quality education Charles Darwin University provides. This site explains some of the ways you, your family or your organisation can support the work of the University and invest in our students. |
