Ways to give
Support UVic your way
There are so many ways to support UVic and our students.
You can create a student award or bursary; support a particular faculty, department or project; honour someone who means a lot to you or leave a gift in your will. Each and every gift, no matter how large or small, makes a difference.
We are committed to working with you to find the donation options which best suit your financial and philanthropic goals.

Make a Matching Gift
Give Securities
A donation of publicly listed securities - stocks, bonds, mutual fund units or shares - benefits the university in the same way as a gift of cash and can be directed to any fund. For the donor, a gift of securities may result in considerable tax benefits. Please consult the fact sheet for information on how to transfer shares to the university. Please contact Kristy Colpron at mgrlegacydev@uvic.ca or 250-721-8967 for more information.
Give Through Your Will or Estate
A legacy gift is a charitable donation that can be set up during your lifetime but won't become available to the University until sometime in the future. These future gifts can come in many forms and many of them provide tax benefits now. For more information, please visit the Legacy Giving page.
Give Personal Property
If you wish to donate non-cash assets to the University of Victoria, either during your lifetime or through your estate, we can provide guidance. These donations, also called gifts-in-kind, may include works of art, books, rare objects, equipment, or real estate. Please contact Kristy Colpron at mgrlegacydev@uvic.ca or 250-721-8967 for more information.
