More ways to give
Give securities
Stocks, bonds, mutual fund units or shares can be donated directly to UVic. This can eliminate capital gains taxes. You will receive a tax receipt for the fair market values of the assets on the day the gift is made.
Contact your broker to transfer ownership of securities using the template letter below. Contact our legacy giving office if you have questions about this process.
Matching gifts
Lots of companies match their employee’s charitable giving—doubling, or sometimes tripling—your gift. Ask your employer about getting your gift to UVic matched.
Create a monthly or recurring gift
Set up pre-authorized monthly donations to spread out your contribution over the year, providing a continuous source of support. Set up your monthly giving plan online. To make changes to your monthly donations, contact 250-472-4924 or giving@uvic.ca.
Give through your will or estate
Discover the options and benefits of giving a gift in your will via a bequest, or by designating the university as a beneficiary of your life insurance policy or retirement savings. Learn about future gift planning.
Give real estate or personal property
To donate a non-cash gift, including works of art, books, rare objects, equipment or real estate, review the university’s gift policies and procedures.
Give via payroll
UVic employees can set up automatic payroll deductions. Visit the faculty and staff giving page for more information about becoming an employee donor.
Honour someone through your gift
Celebrate a special occasion such as a retirement or birthday, or honour the memory of someone who has touched your life. Simply make your tribute or memorial gift online and note the person’s name. Or, include that information with your cheque. Indicate on the donation form if you would like us to notify the family or honouree.
