Did you know: This past year alone, 2,600+ scholarships, awards and bursaries went towards supporting students thanks to the generosity of SFU’s incredible donors!
Please consider making a difference in the SFU community—and getting the advantage of a 2023 tax receipt—by making your gift online by December 31, 2023. If sending a cheque, please ensure the envelope is postmarked by the same date.
THREE POSITIVE EFFECTS OF CHARITABLE GIVING
1. Small donations have a big impact
It's true, every little bit counts! Not everyone can donate large sums of money at once, however, every donation adds up. If 10 people each give $100, that's enough to generate a meaningful award for an SFU student in financial need.
2. Mood boost
Business magnate and philanthropist Warren Buffet has suggested that donating money is a great way to enhance emotional well-being. Increasingly, this is backed up by research including a study by SFU professor Lara Aknin that demonstrates how prosocial behaviours—such as spending money to benefit others—lead to more happiness.
3. Tax relief
SFU is a registered charity. As such, all donations over $10 receive a tax receipt that can be used to claim tax credits when filing your income tax return.
The kindness of our donor community helps to improve lives and propels SFU’s efforts to shape a sustainable, just and inclusive society. Thank you all!
Please note that SFU will be closed Dec. 25, 2023 to Jan. 1, 2023, reopening on Jan. 2, 2024.
