GIVIT Assistance - USQ Student Guild

The USQ Student Guild is proud to partner with GIVIT.

GIVIT is a not-for-profit organisation that is helping donors to give the smart way.

One simple item can sometimes have the power to change someone else’s life? It can be as simple as donating your child’s school uniform that they have now grown out of. A donation such as this could stop another child from being bullied at school. Or you are wanting to help those affected by natural disasters such as flooding, drought or bushfires, but are unsure what is needed.

By completing the below form students in genuine need can access GIVIT to receive generous donations from community members. If you complete this form you are consenting for the Advocacy Office to make a request on the GIVIT platform on your behalf. This allows us to ensure that your identity and information remain confidential and takes the hassle out of the process for you.

It is important that students are aware that their application is only a request to the ‘universe’ and will need to be genuine and appeal to philanthropic members of the community, alumni, or corporate for any chance of donation from generous benefactors. As a result, this means that not all requests will always be fulfilled.
