Your Gift Matters
Why leave a legacy?
Communities must be nurtured. Many of us want to help family and friends but we also want to give part of what we have for the benefit of people we have never met. Charity is the human impulse to give to others.
How your legacy contribution can help TRU

We need your support and here is how you can help:
Student Assistance (Bursaries, Scholarships, Awards)
Education can change a person’s life. Gifts to student awards ensure that no student is denied a quality education due to their financial ability to pay. It ensures TRU is accessible to all qualified students that want to pursue their passions. It helps TRU attract outstanding students from our local region and across Canada.
Your financial gift gives you the opportunity to have a profound impact in the lives of students and in your community. The vast majority of TRU students have part-time jobs to make ends meet. Many of our students struggle to support families while completing their education, with the intention of making a better life for themselves and their children.
There is a great satisfaction in knowing you are helping a student complete their education and realize their dreams.
Capital
Bricks and mortar are needed to meet the needs of an increasing student population and new faculties and programs. Upcoming projects include a new building for the TRU School of Law and additions to existing buildings to house classrooms, offices and study areas.
Research Initiatives
Gifts from friends, alumni and the community enable Thompson Rivers University to carry out many outstanding research projects. Universities encourage the passion for discovery and invention. Research at TRU will further establish TRU’s growing reputation as an innovative and dynamic university.
