Donate to architecture and design innovation
Empower our students to take their place as leaders in creative and innovation industries around the world.
Architects and designers have crucial roles to play in the ways in which we inhabit, change, and adapt to the material world. You can support the next generation of architects and designers to develop their creative, professional, and technical skills by giving them opportunities to take part in inspiring events, meet global experts, and develop their own projects.
Donate to the Architecture and Design Innovation Maker's Fund
The costs of materials, attending a conference, or entering competitions can often be prohibitive. Our Maker’s Fund has been created to ensure students can access that ‘little bit extra’ funding which can unlock their potential. From attending a conference, entering creative competitions, collaborating with a fellow student, or purchasing materials they couldn’t otherwise afford, every single gift will make a direct difference to students.
Donate to the FundHelp inspire students with lectures from world-renowned experts
Through hearing from influential visiting architects, our students and Wellington’s creative community can engage with the fresh perspectives and visionary thinking that will shape the future of design. Donate to our Visiting Lecture Series.

The Professor Helen Tippett Award supports women who intend to work in the construction industry in memory of Professor Helen Tippett. Helen was the first woman professor of architecture in Australasia and former Dean of Victoria University of Wellington’s School of Architecture.
Helen made a lasting contribution to architecture in Aotearoa through her expertise in project management and building controls and was a tireless advocate for women in the construction industry.
