Director Christine Jones 905-688-5550 extension 4320 Administrative Assistant Roseann Conte 905-688-5550, extension 4009 Office of External Relations Thistle East 265 The aim of the Development program is to develop and maintain initiatives which will attract maximum private sector support to advance the objectives of Brock University. The Development staff are responsible for the co-ordination of all fund-raising activities at Brock. Gifts can be made to one of three charitable organizations that have been created to serve the needs of Brock University; Brock University (a registered charity), The Brock University Foundation (a Crown foundation), and the Friends of Brock University Inc. (a foundation established to facilitate receiving charitable gifts from U.S. citizens). Outright gifts of cash, either pledged over time or as a one-time donation, gifts-in-kind such as scientific or office equipment, departmental and library books and journals, and financial support for student awards, are some of the many ways donors support the work of Brock University. Donations to Brock University are eligible for a charitable receipt for income tax purposes. Your interest in the University can be perpetuated with a planned gift. A bequest is an example of a planned gift. It is expressed through your will by simply stating that Brock University is to receive a certain sum of money, a specified piece of property (art, books, life insurance, real estate, etc.), a stated percentage, or residual interest in your estate after other obligations have been satisfied. Life insurance, annuities, residual/remainder interest and trusts are some of the other forms of planned gift arrangements available to a donor. These gifts are designed to meet the needs of the donor and Brock University by maximizing the potential of the value of the gift over extended periods of time. Deferred giving allows you the opportunity to provide the financial support for an endowed gift in honour of an individual. The Development staff also maintain a list of those companies which will match your donation. In these times of diminished tax based support, the contributions of individuals and organizations have never been more necessary. Donations large and small will make a great difference to the long term stability of Brock. Our donors help us to improve our programs and facilities and greatly assist our ability to continue to attract and keep deserving and excellent students, faculty and staff. The Development staff welcomes the opportunity to consult with you. The University's Donor Recognition Policy will suitably acknowledge your support.
