Every annual gift has an impact on our students at U of T. And collectively, gifts of all sizes will make a significant contribution to the Boundless campaign. You can give to the college, faculty or program that matters most to you—or you can make an unrestricted donation toward the University’s greatest needs.
Donors who make an annual gift of $1,000 or more are recognized at the Leadership Level.
And you can double your impact with our Corporate Matching Gift program.
Feel good about your gift now, but donate it later. A bequest is a gift in your will, which you can direct to U of T in general or designate to a particular faculty, college or other area of interest. As well, your estate will be eligible for a tax receipt that can be used in the year of death and the preceding year.
Funds are usually bequeathed as a:
Residual amount (e.g. a share or percentage of your estate) Specific dollar amount, a specific piece of personal use or other property
Benefits of making a bequest:
A bequest is a tax-effective means of supporting U of T. Your estate may claim gifts in the year of death equal to 100 per cent of your net income in that year and the preceding year. You have use of the asset while you are alive. You can designate your gift to a University priority that meets your interest, such as a scholarship, capital project, program or research.
A bequest is revocable and can be changed if your financial circumstances change.
Sample bequest wording:
“To pay to The Governing Council of the University of Toronto ___% of the residue of my estate [or the sum of $____________.] This gift is to be used for such purposes and designs as deemed appropriate by The Governing Council of the University of Toronto.
