UCalgary Giving Day is on now
Your gift can have up to double the impact when you give April 2-16
UCalgary Giving Day is back
You don’t have to work in a lab to advance research breakthroughs or be on campus to help students succeed — your gift makes it happen!
Your support during UCalgary Giving Day advances critical research, empowers students, drives innovative teaching and learning, and more. But don’t just take our word for it — join UCalgary alum Dan Allard as he explores campus to lend a hand.
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.
Collective giving adds up to support hundreds of students
Naomi Hewa Wellappulige's grandmother had wanted to be a nurse, but unforeseen circumstances prevented it. That resonated with Naomi and, with help from the Calgary Korean Scholarship Foundation, she was able to complete her degree.
Levelling the playing field for women student-athletes
Dr. Hayley Wickenheiser knows the impact of philanthropy. The hockey legend and Dinos alum has seen what it means to a team and how it inspires every corner of the dressing room.
From one-room schoolhouse to big-city campus
The university's Board of Governors chair pays tribute to his late father, a former UCalgary professor, and his lifelong dedication to education with a student award in his name.
It starts with you
Whether you supported research or student awards, backed experiential learning initiatives or contributed to bricks-and-mortar learning spaces, you’ve had a hand in all our successes.
