’Tis the season for giving!
Did you know: This past year alone, 3,200+ scholarships, awards and bursaries went directly towards supporting students thanks to the generosity of SFU’s incredible donor and alumni community!
It’s true, when you give to SFU, every dollar goes directly to your chosen fund for its intended purpose. Your support—of any size—empowers us to meet emerging student and societal needs with confidence and urgency.
Double your impact!
This holiday season your support for students can go even further. If you make a gift before December 31, 2025 to the SFU Food Security Program Fund, every dollar you give will be matched by SFU, doubling your impact, up to $60,000. This program is a lifeline for many students in need, providing emergency grocery gift cards that allow them to focus on learning rather than finding their next meal.
Make a gift today
Three positive effects of charitable giving:
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.
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.
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 in advancing an inclusive and sustainable future. Thank you!
Please note that SFU will be closed Dec. 25, 2025 to Jan. 1, 2026, reopening on Jan. 2, 2026.
