Monthly Giving Program benefits

Why join the Monthly Giving Program?

  1. We can achieve more as a community than we can as individuals. Monthly giving works because we’re all in it together — alumni, parents and friends of the University — combining our resources to make a positive difference.
  2. Your dedication is the ultimate gift. Through your ongoing support, you show Waterloo students that their community has their back — every day.
  3. Your donation is meaningful. On top of being part of a powerful giving community, you get to choose the fund that’s closest to your heart.
  4. You can tailor your gift to fit your budget. And if things change, you have the flexibility to adjust your donation amount or stop at any time.
  5. You get to see the impact your gift is making on Waterloo students and the world. At the end of every fiscal year, you’ll receive our Annual Impact Report delivered straight to your inbox.

Join the Monthly Giving Program

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 program, you light the way and shape a bright future for University of Waterloo students. To join the Monthly Giving Program, all you need to do is make your first monthly donation and join our community of philanthropic members. Choose your preferred option below:
