Ways to give

In most cases, American UBC alumni and family of alumni, and in many cases most donor advised funds, can make donations to UBC directly. To do so, click the donate button (US-Canada Tax Treaty Article 21 Section 6). For more information, check with your accountant or local tax office.

You are giving in Canadian dollars. Your tax receipt will be issued in Canadian dollars. If you need a receipt in U.S. dollars, our American Foundation will gladly accept and process your gift. The American Foundation contact information can be found here.

To donate to the American Foundation, please mail a check payable to the American Foundation for The University of British Columbia. Indicate Global Reporting Centre Fund G0578 in the notes section to ensure your check is routed to the correct fund.
