Happy National Philanthropy Day!

November 15 is National Philanthropy Day, and we're celebrating the many ways our alumni, donors, volunteers and partners support our campus community.

Keystone Campaign co-chairs Tony Munro and Lynn Judge want to thank everyone who made a colleague smile on February 14 with a delicious Treat-a-Gram. 

This year’s event was our most successful yet, with an extraordinary $15,216 raised through the sale of 4,548 treats!

Schulich Leaders at Waterloo

"The prestigious Schulich Leader Scholarships are already transforming the lives of our most promising STEM students, helping them blossom into the innovators and problem solvers of tomorrow," said Feridun Hamdullahpur, President and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Waterloo.

Two past recipients reflect on how the generous award is helping them reach their academic goals (video).

As we celebrate National Philanthropy Day on November 15, we are thrilled to congratulate two of the University of Waterloo’s most generous supporters for being named 2016’s Outstanding Philanthropist and Outstanding Foundation by the Golden Horseshoe chapter of the Association of Fundraising Professionals.

Both donors were nominated by the University of Waterloo for their outstanding commitment and leadership in all aspects of philanthropy.

The enthusiastic support of donors helped a Waterloo team take their exhibition about the architectural evidence of Auschwitz to the Venice Biennale, the most prestigious architectural show in the world, where it is raising questions about the moral responsibility of architects.
