About TUQIA

In 2011, The University of Queensland in America, Inc. (TUQIA) was established as a non-profit section 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization recognized by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (IRS). US taxpayers – including corporations, foundations, and third-party financial entities such as Donor-Advised Funds – may make tax-deductible gifts to fund research grants at UQ and to sponsor UQ events in the US, including conferences, galas and meetings.

TUQIA raises financial support for research and educational collaborations with US partners, friends and alumni, and benefits UQ students, programs and residential colleges. In compliance with IRS regulations, the Board of Directors of TUQIA maintains complete discretion over allocation of the gifts it receives.

TUQIA is also dedicated to securing gifts and grants from all American individuals in North America and living abroad. These gifts are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

Estate planning vehicles – such as charitable remainder trusts, charitable lead trusts, charitable gift annuities, life insurance policies, and donations of stocks and securities – can be gifted to TUQIA and receive US tax deductions.
