About the Annual Giving Program

The University of Waterloo’s Annual Giving program raises charitable support from alumni, parents, friends and current and retired faculty and staff who give between $1 to $999 annually.

"For me, being a loyal monthly supporter of Waterloo’s Student Wellness Fund fosters a sense of community. I want students to know that I care about their health and success. I donate to the Student Wellness Fund to ensure Waterloo has sustained funding to help students thrive both academically and personally. We all need a healthy campus environment for those who are living, working, and learning here now and for those who will in the future."
