We created Crowdfundraising UBC to help the UBC community crowdfund for their projects, without incurring the admin costs associated with using external platforms. Head to Crowdfundraising UBC to find a listing of all current projects that need your help to reach their goals.
Help outstanding students at UBC succeed by creating a student award. You can fund an award either on an annual basis or by creating an endowment to support students in perpetuity. You will be empowering students to become leaders with the potential to shape a better world.
When you create an endowment, your gift is invested for the long term and the annual interest is distributed according to the terms you have established. Endowments provide stable, dependable support for UBC programs and students, for this generation and generations to come.
Giving retirement assets is one of the easiest, most tax-effective ways to support research and learning at UBC. Retirement assets can be a costly gift to distribute, but they make ideal donations to charitable organizations such as UBC.
Gift of securities are often a cost-effective way to support UBC. Publicly listed securities, including shares, bonds, warrants, stocks, mutual funds and segregated fund units may be donated.
UBC welcomes gifts of property such as real estate, works of art and personal collections. These may be used to advance learning or sold so the proceeds can be directed to your area of interest. You can make a gift of property now, through your will, or through a gift of future interest.

Under the University Foundations Act, the University of British Columbia Foundation was established in 1987 as an Agent of the Crown to encourage financial support for UBC and its programs, facilities and activities, and to receive funds and property for the benefit of UBC. As UBC itself is a Canadian registered charity and can issue official donation receipts that qualify for charitable tax credits, in most circumstances donors are able to support UBC directly rather than through the University of British Columbia Foundation. Donations to the UBC Foundation are usually made under specific circumstances and should be pre-arranged by contacting the foundation via the above link.
Charitable foundations in the United States of America, the United Kingdom and Hong Kong have been established to support donors who want to give to UBC from these areas.
