Planned Giving
A charitable bequest is an option to give to Rundle and can offer significant tax relief to a donor’s estate. A bequest made to Rundle is eligible for a tax receipt applicable to the donor’s estate and can be applied to the donor’s final income tax return and offset taxes payable by the estate.
The proceeds from Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSPs) and Registered Retirement Income Funds (RRIFs), and life insurance policies provide an excellent way to make a planned gift to Rundle. If a donor chooses to leave a portion of their retirement funds to Rundle, they will go directly to Rundle tax-free.
In all cases we recommend that they be carefully reviewed by our donors and their legal counsel to ensure accuracy.
Securities
You can donate Canadian securities to Rundle. When you donate securities directly to Rundle College Society, capital gains tax is eliminated, allowing you to increase the impact of your donation.
Gifts-in-Kind
We do accept gifts-in-kind if they benefit our programs. e.g. equipment, furniture, materials and resources that can be utilized to support our programs or enhance our learning environment. Please contact us to discuss the nature of your gift-in-kind to ensure it will be used appropriately.
For more information about donating gifts in kind, please email giving@rundle.ab.ca.
Gifts can be made on our online giving portal.
We are grateful to accept donations by cheque as well (payable to Rundle College Society). Please mail to:

Can I donate to a specific program?
Yes. You can designate your gift to whatever existing program we offer (eg. academic departments, athletics, arts, co-curricular). We support and appreciate donations directed towards any of our programs that you value.
Will I receive a tax receipt?
You will, for donations over $25. Rundle College Society is a charitable organization with the Canada Revenue Agency (#107940892RR0001). Therefore, your donation will benefit both our students and your tax return.
Can I make a monthly donation?
Even better. Monthly donations are very beneficial because you can choose the amount that fits your budget and still provide a sustainable legacy for Rundle’s programs and students. It all adds up. Monthly donations can be set up on our donation site. A tax receipt for monthly donations will be sent in February of the following calendar year.
