People give to The University of Winnipeg for different reasons. Some give out of fondness for the university or their department. Others know the value of a UWinnipeg degree and want our university to remain one of the best in Canada. And others give because they realize that their education was supported by private donors and they feel a duty and desire to support current students.

The university is financially stable because generations of alumni and friends have given back to their alma mater. The university is able to continue its tradition of excellence and to provide more opportunities, not only because of past gifts, but because of new ones. UWinnipeg graduates make contributions in business, education, and the arts, just to name a few. A gift to the university supports the people and programs that enrich our communities and our world.

Any gift, regardless of the size, makes a difference in the lives of UWinnipeg students.
