Giving to the Waterloo Fund helps to provide the world-class university experience our students need to prepare them to be the leaders of tomorrow.

About the Waterloo Fund

The Waterloo Fund provides vital, flexible support that allows the university to invest where the need is greatest, ensuring students benefit from resources and experiences that keep pace with their ambitions.

Gifts to the Waterloo Fund make an immediate impact. They help enhance academic initiatives, expand experiential learning, improve campus spaces and support innovative projects that enrich student life. The Waterloo Fund is also a commitment to equity, helping ensure every student has access to the tools, programs and opportunities that define a Waterloo education.

When you give to the Waterloo Fund, you’re investing in possibility and helping shape a campus that is dynamic, inclusive and ready to meet the needs of today’s students. Your generosity empowers Waterloo to adapt, innovate and provide transformative experiences that prepare students to lead with confidence.

Double Match Opportunity

Your gift to the Waterloo Fund can go three times as far. Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of an Engineering alum, gifts to the Waterloo Fund will be matched up to $1,000 per donor, while $25,000 in matching funds remain. And paired with the University’s central match, you could even triple your impact, helping to uplift students across campus.
