How Will You Shape a Better Tomorrow?

Choosing to leave a deferred gift to Western is a simple, yet deeply personal act of generosity. It opens doors of opportunity, today and for generations to come.

You can make plans to:

  • leave a gift in your Will (cash, publicly traded securities, etc.)
  • donate financial assets (RRSP, RRIF, TFSA)
  • name Western as owner of an existing or new life insurance policy

Whether you are passionate about helping students, supporting faculty initiatives or funding groundbreaking research, you can play a key role in supporting the leaders who are shaping a better tomorrow.
