Students’ Union Invite Applications to Annual Charity Fund

University of Galway Students’ Union has opened the application process for Charities wishing to be considered as beneficiaries for its annual fundraising campaign for 2024/25. Last year students ran a series of events including the triumphant return of RAG Week, a giant Christmas Raffle, saucy Sex Toy Bingo, charity Take Me Out, head shaves and table quizzes. They raised a record breaking €53,275 for Galway Rape Crisis Centre and Cancer Care West.

Application forms for the fund are available from the Students’ Union website here: Uni of Galway SU Charity Application Form 2024 and the closing date for applications is 5pm Monday 26th of August 2024. Please note that any canvassing will automatically disqualify your charity from this process.

Students’ Union President Faye Ní Dhomhnaill said: “Despite the constant cutbacks and daily challenges we all face, University Galway students have a very proud tradition of raising money for charities. This year we hope to raise even more money for good causes with our Charity events including Raise and Give (RAG) Week. These events will encourage our students to get involved in helping their community whilst also making friends and having fun.”
