Funding priorities
Where your gift goes
Our online donation form allows you to direct your gift to any one of our current funding priorities:
Danielle Forster Special Collections
We honour the memory of our former rare books and information services Librarian with a fund driven by individual donors. When it reaches $25,000 it will be endowed to support students working on the kinds of projects Danielle dedicated her life to. We are two thirds of the way to reaching our goal.
Digital Initiatives Fund
Countless stories of local and international research value might have been lost without UVic’s efforts to collect and share them. And only through digitization can we provide global public access in the 21st century.
Endowed Funds
These funds are established in accordance with a donor’s desired area of support.
Internet Shakespeare Editions
Seeking a scholarly level of free online learning, this society’s mission to ‘inspire a love of Shakespeare’s works’ has led them to break new ground in web-based pedagogy.
Library Enrichment Fund
General donations are directed towards highest priority needs.
Special Collections Fund
As UVic develops internationally recognized holdings, it is our donors who are critical in building these rare collections and helping us improve accessibility of these materials for the entire community.
Transgender Archives Fund
Home to the world’s largest transgender archive, UVic Library’s unparalleled initiative towards understanding and equality is mobilizing support worldwide. Join the movement.
Vault Expansion
The Vault expansion will help us to expand upon our existing collections that directly benefit teaching and learning at the University of Victoria
