Pledge – You may prefer to make a commitment to give a series of gifts over a period of months or years, thus spreading your tax benefits accordingly.
Monthly Giving – Many of our donors choose to make a monthly gift via credit card. This has the benefit of spreading out your commitment while still making it manageable to make a meaningful gift.
Gift of Securities – Since 2006, capital gains tax is no longer applicable when appreciated securities are donated to a registered charity. Kwantlen can accept both electronic and certificate shares, as well as gifts of publicly traded options. If you choose this gift type, you will immediately receive a donation receipt for the fair market value of your gift on the day the transfer is made. Please contact us to learn more about making a gift of securities.
Gift in Kind – A gift in kind is a non-cash gift that could be anything from artwork and equipment to real estate. Kwantlen is pleased to accept non-cash gifts that will be of use to our university. Upon a third party valuation of the gift, you will be issued a tax receipt for the fair market value of your gift. Please contact us if you wish to explore this further.
In Honour or In Memoriam – Kwantlen would be pleased to discuss with you an appropriate and meaningful way to honour or remember a loved one. Please contact us to explore this further.
Gift of Insurance Policy – New and existing life insurance policies can be gifted to Kwantlen, and you can designate the insurance proceeds to an area or project of your choice. If Kwantlen Polytechnic University is named the owner and beneficiary, the annual premiums you pay are tax deductible, and can lead to a substantial gift in the future. Making Kwantlen the beneficiary of a policy can significantly reduce the taxes owing on your final tax return.
Bequests – Gifts made through your Will, or bequests, play an important role in funding student awards and many other important projects at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. At the time the donation is made your Estate will be issued a tax receipt for the value of your gift. This can significantly reduce the taxes owing on your final tax return.
Kwantlen is dedicated to helping students create bright futures for themselves and in turn for our communities. Making a gift is a meaningful way to foster the power and potential of a new generation of leaders.
