Executive Director Pamela Shanks Administrative Assistant Cortney Gusek 905 688 5550, x4190 Fax: 905 641 5216 Thistle East 265 brocku.ca/ca/bold-new-brock The department develops programs to engage private support that will advance Brock University's mission. Our donors help us improve programs and facilities, and enhance our ability to attract and retain deserving students and excellent faculty and staff. Board of Trustees and Canada Revenue Agency policies govern the department's activities. Gifts of cash (either pledged over time or as a one-time donation), planned gifts and bequests, gifts of real estate, securities, equipment, books and journals, artwork and funding for student financial assistance awards are some of the many ways donors support the work of Brock University. Donations to Brock University are eligible for charitable receipts for income tax purposes. The Campaign for a Bold New Brock Brock has just completed the largest capital campaign in our history raising over $90 million dollars to support the endowments for student financial assistance, to invest in teaching and research facilities, to expand knowledge and to empower our faculty as educator-researchers and innovators. The generosity of our donors has allowed us to expand our physical campus and support important programming for our students. Annual Fund The Annual Fund is a component of our fundraising programs. Through the Annual Fund, Brock's students, parents, alumni, faculty, staff and friends have the opportunity to make a gift of any size, and together, make a significant investment in Brock. As a student, you have the opportunity to gain work as an Annual Fund student caller. Student callers inform alumnni and community members about new initiatives, update contact information, and invite support for Brock's area of greatest need. Brock students like you are the main benefactors from this support. Donations to the Annual Fund have funded student awards and created enhanced learning environments such as the Cairns Complex and the Marilyn I. Walker Schoo of Fine and Performing Arts. Parents, alumni and friends can make a gift to the Annual Fund through traditional means like responding to a phone call or mailer or through online donations. As a student, you can contribute to the Campaign for a Bold New Brock through fundraising events and/or a senior class gift. Visit brocku.ca/annual-fund for more information. |
