Giving to UCalgary
Your support creates lasting, positive change on our campus, in the community and around the world. Discover the impact of giving and how you can be a part of it.
Your generosity in action
Each year, thousands of donors — community members, alumni, students, faculty and staff — come together with a collective might that turns dreams into reality, ideas into action, and generosity into change.
