Leaving a gift to the Haskayne School of Business in your will is a powerful way to create a lasting legacy and make a meaningful impact on future generations of students. By including a bequest in your estate plans, you can ensure that your support continues to benefit our programs, scholarships and initiatives long after your lifetime. 

Bequests can be designated for specific purposes or left unrestricted, allowing the school to address its most pressing needs. This type of planned giving can also provide significant tax benefits for your estate. 

Please contact us to discuss how you can include the Haskayne School of Business in your estate plans and make a lasting contribution to business education in Alberta.

There are tremendous benefits to you for donating shares and other investments to the university at the same time as supporting the Haskayne School. When you donate shares directly to UCalgary, you will not pay capital gains tax normally attached to the sale of securities. You will receive a tax receipt for the full value of the shares. This policy also applies to bonds, mutual funds and other forms of capital property listed on approved stock exchanges.

For more information, please contact your broker who can complete the necessary forms to transfer your securities to the Haskayne School of Business. Please also contact us for additional questions.

Talk to your employer or board about ways of maximizing your contribution. More than 500 organizations have confirmed they will match donations to Canadian charities by current or retired employees and their spouses. The results  ̶  your $2,500 investment grows to $5,000 or more  ̶ do more than benefit our students and faculty; they help to position you and your company as valued supporters of the Haskayne School of Business and UCalgary experience. 

Check with your HR department to find out if you work for a matching gift company. 

You can create a legacy for yourself, a loved one, a colleague or your organization by creating a named scholarship or bursary. By making a named award you will be creating a long-lasting reminder of your commitment to the university for all to celebrate and be inspired by, now and in the future. 

There are several types of student awards, each of which is helpful to our students in a different way. Awards can be funded through annual donations by creating an endowment, the investment income from which provides the scholarship, bursary or award in perpetuity. You may also choose a combination by making an annual contribution, a portion of which provides support for a current student, with the balance used to build an endowment over time. Some donors also contribute annually during their lifetimes and leave a bequest in their will to enable the award to continue after their death.

An endowment allows your gift to live on in perpetuity. University endowments play an important role in providing a measure of financial independence and in sustaining scholarships and bursaries, libraries, chairs and professorships, and other programs critical to a rich educational experience.

The University of Calgary Board of Governors, under the guidance of its Investment Committee, carefully monitors the impact of current market conditions and the performance of the university’s endowment.
