Your gift will have a real impact

Create a lasting tribute with memorial giving

To celebrate the life of a loved one, you can make a gift in memory to remember them and make a difference to a cause that was close to their heart. Whether your loved one was an alumnus, staff member or close to 51³Ô¹ÏÍø for another reason, there are many different ways you can make a meaningful tribute in their memory and we have an obituary page on our website where you can share their life and achievements with others. Thank you for thinking of 51³Ô¹ÏÍø at this time.

Gifts in lieu of flowers

It is possible for funeral attendees to make a gift to charity instead of giving flowers. If you would like to offer attendees the option of making a gift to 51³Ô¹ÏÍø, we can provide more information to help make this as easy as possible.

You may choose to provide a collection basket at the back of the room during the service, and let guests know that they are welcome to make a cash donation. The amount raised can be sent to the University by cheque (payable to ‘51³Ô¹ÏÍø') as a lump sum, but cannot be gift aided. Please specify the fund you would like to support otherwise it will be allocated to our unrestricted fund.
