We can help you find a project or initiative on campus that aligns with what you are passionate about. These can be student awards, or work taking place in a faculty, school or on one of our campuses.

If you do not want a full memorial page, we can provide you with a customized link to a donation page which will direct donors to make a gift to a fund of your choice, or allow them to select of fund of their preference.

All personal information from your donors will be collected, protected, used, disclosed and retained in compliance with British Columbia’s Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA). This offers donors great assurances that their information will be private and secure.

Unfortunately this means we cannot release donor lists to you, even though you solicited the gifts and they gave to your campaign. We know this can be frustrating, and have strategies in place to help you reach out to your donors, while ensuring FIPPA compliance. It’s also a great idea to get donors, especially if they are close contacts, to inform you directly when they’ve made a gift.
