Support GALS

Empowering girls to become the STEM leaders of the future takes a village. We couldn’t do it without your support.

Give to GALS to support the future of STEM

Deakin has been committed to equitable access to quality education since 1974. That commitment is at the heart of the GALS program, where we work with girls in years 5-8 (ages 11-14) and their teachers to raise their aspirations in STEM-related careers.  

 Philanthropy has fueled GALS since its inception. Philanthropy at Deakin is about the power of community. It’s thousands of alumni, staff and supporters coming together to create real-world change.  Your support creates life-changing opportunities and enables inclusive learning experiences.  

You can give through Deakin to help us build a future where girls are inspired to pursue careers which solve problems that matter to them, their communities and their world. At Deakin, every dollar goes further. With strong systems and deep expertise, your gift goes directly to the program — creating real, immediate impact.  

 If you'd like to join us in empowering the next generation of female leaders, entrepreneurs and problem-solvers in STEM, please call Vanessa Meachen, Trusts & Foundations Manager, on 0409 471 933 or email vanessa.meachen@deakin.edu.au.
