Gifts of any amount are welcome and gratefully received. Donations may be made online, by mailing your donation or we would be pleased to assist you with your gift in person.
You can direct your donation to a specific area, or we’d be thrilled to hear your ideas! A charitable gift receipt will be provided for all qualifying gifts.
Gifts can be given in the following ways:
Monthly giving
Donating monthly allows you to spread out your commitment – making it manageable to establish a meaningful gift – while enabling the University to plan for the future. You can designate the area you wish to support and determine the monthly contribution that suits your financial plan. Monthly giving can be setup by clicking on any of the Donation buttons or by completing a donation form.
One-time gift
You can make a one-time gift of any denomination to a specific area or to a funding priority of your choice.
Pledge
You may prefer to make a series of gifts over a period of months or years, thus spreading your tax benefits accordingly. Contact us and we can set up a payment plan that will help you achieve your giving goals.
Gift of securities
By directly donating securities, including shares, bonds, mutual funds and stock options (rather than selling the securities first, then donating the proceeds), you can eliminate the associated capital gains and receive a donation receipt for the fair market value as of the gift date. We suggest you consult with your professional advisor before initiating a gift of publicly-traded securities. The Yukon University Foundation can accept security donations online, or through our investment counsel.
Gift in-kind
A gift in-kind is a non-cash gift that could be anything from artwork to equipment to real estate. Initial arrangements for gifts in-kind are made at the departmental level, to ensure the donation is acceptable and will benefit learning. Eligible gifts in-kind receive the same kinds of tax benefits and recognition as other gifts to the University and the Foundation. The fair market value of a gift in-kind must be assessed before a charitable receipt can be issued.
In honour/In memoriam
We would be pleased to discuss an appropriate and meaningful way to honour or remember a loved one.
Corporate matching gifts
Many companies support employee giving by offering a “matching gift” program. This means the company will donate funds equal to your contribution, effectively doubling the gift. Check with your employer to see if they offer a charitable gift matching program.
