Donations may be directed either towards general support for student
awards in a program, department or the Faculty, or towards an existing
award.
Named Awards
Alternatively, a new named award may be created by a single donor or
multiple donors, either with one donation or through annual donations
over a period of time. Once established, an award can be built up
through future contributions to increase its value and/or the number of
students who benefit.

Tax-Smart Giving
Donating publicly-traded stock and securities is a tax-smart way to
support the University of Toronto. Donors will receive a tax receipt for
the full appreciated value of the donation and will not be subject to
capital gains tax. For more information, contact us at 1-800-463-6048 or
gift.plan@utoronto.ca.
Planned Gifts
A planned gift allows you to create a meaningful legacy at the
University while receiving significant tax benefits. Planned gifts
include bequests, retirement funds, stocks and securities, charitable
remainder trusts, residual interest, life insurance, as well as
gifts-in-kind such as real estate, artwork or special equipment. The
Office of Gift Planning staff is available to assist you, in confidence,
at 416-978-3846 or gift.plan@utoronto.ca.
International Gifts
Alumni and their families who reside in the U.S. may make donations
directly to the University of Toronto and use the charitable receipt for
their U.S. income tax returns under the Canada-United States Income Tax
Convention. American citizens (or residents) who are not alumni or
related to alumni, as well as corporations, foundations, estates and
trusts requiring a U.S. tax receipt, can contribute through The
Associates of the University of Toronto, Inc. Contact associates.ut@utoronto.ca or
1-800-699-1736 for more information.
