Join the Monthly Giving Community
Every day on our campus, monthly donors are helping our students shape a brighter future.
One day, your gift could be helping a student cover the rising cost of groceries so they can focus on their studies. Another day, it could be helping them prioritize their mental health to grow into the best version of themselves.
No matter what, your monthly donation reminds our students that their community has their back — day in and day out. Every little bit matters, no matter how big or small, because your dedication is the ultimate gift.
By joining the monthly giving community, you light the way and shape a bright future for University of Waterloo students. To join the Monthly Giving Community, all you need to do is make your first monthly donation and join our community of philanthropic members. Choose your preferred option below:

Monthly donors share why they give
Waterloo set me up for success in my career, so I wanted to give back, but making a large gift each year isn't feasible at this stage in my life.
Monthly giving allows me to make gifts that fit my budget and support the area that means the most to me.
Monthly giving allows me to manage my giving much easier, ensuring that I support the funds most important to me with consistent giving. This also allows me to support special opportunities such as Giving Tuesday when they arise.
I really encourage donors to use monthly giving as a way of being intentional with your philanthropy.
