Ryerson has a strong interest in maintaining the partnership and support of its various publics; its Governors, alumni, corporations, foundations, faculty, staff, students and friends, who share a common interest in Ryerson as a uniquely important educational institution.

Support from these publics has provided many millions of dollars in generous commitments, which will serve to advance the quality of Ryerson educational experience. That investment is reflected in the quality of the graduates that enter Canadian industry and society.

Gifts to Ryerson are made in many ways and over different time periods. These include cash donations to the Ryerson Annual Fund and Major Gift support with donations in excess of $25,000. Ryerson also accepts gifts-in-kind of equipment, art work, books and periodicals. Planned gifts, can be made using instruments such as a single or group insurance policy, charitable gift annuity or a bequest included in a will.

Ryerson is focusing on building its endowment in support of its highest priorities to create more student awards as well as create faculty Research Chairs and Professorships. As such, there are a number of naming opportunities available to advance the University's mission and vision.

You may identify a specific project or program for the allocation of your gift, or make an undesignated contribution to be used where the need is greatest. Donations are tax deductible (tax credit).
