THE University of Sydney has enjoyed a significant rise in philanthropic donations over the past four years - the latest of which is a $20 million whopper.
In 2011 alone donations worth more than $79 million poured into the university's coffers - a figure it says is a new Australian record for the higher education sector.
And since 2008 the university has raised more than $220 million from 21,000 individuals.
On Tuesday the university announced that businessman John Grill has handed over $20 million to create the John Grill Centre for Project Leadership.
The donation is said to be the largest single gift ever given by a living Australian to an Australian university.
Mr Grill, who has just retired as CEO of professional services firm WorleyParsons, said his donation will be used to help educate the project leaders of the future.
"Across the globe there are more large projects than ever before, many of which are vitally important to society," he said in a statement.
"Unfortunately the track record of delivering them against the primary objectives of schedule, cost and quality is not good."
He said the John Grill Centre will give senior executives the skills to drive major projects successfully.
