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.
