Donation Requests

The CQUniversity Cairns Taipans receive many requests for donations every season from a variety of community organisations. As a community-owned, not-for-profit club, the Taipans are committed to engaging with local community organisations to support those causes that benefit the Cairns community.

Please note that the Taipans are not able to provide financial donations, however the club will consider requests for tickets and merchandise on a case-by-case basis. We may not be able to support every request due the large number of requests received each season.

• Cairns / Cairns-region based organisations preferred
• Six working weeks’ notice required
• All requests must be submitted online via this link: https://orangearmy.com.au/donation-requests/
