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 2023/24. Last year students ran a series of events including a giant Christmas Raffle, a Taylor Swift night, saucy Sex Toy Bingo, charity Take Me Out, head shaves, table quizzes, a Drag Race and a Sports Day. They raised €19,000 for Galway Rape Crisis Centre and Galway Simon Community.
Application forms for the fund are available from the Students’ Union website HERE: Uni of Galway SU Charity Applicaiton Form 2023 and the closing date for applications is 5pm Monday 28th of August 2023. Please note that any canvassing will automatically disqualify your charity from this process.
Students’ Union President Dean Kenny 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 Week. These events will encourage our students to get involved in helping their community whilst also making friends and having fun.”
