Charitable Giving

Curator's Note

We all know that giving helps others but studies have shown that it can actually boost your physical and mental health. In fact, studies have reported lower blood pressure, reduced stress levels and a surge in our feel-good neurotransmitters when we give of ourselves to others. I guess there’s some scientific proof behind “the joy of giving."

Details

In the autumn of 2011, the University launched start an evolution: the most ambitious fundraising and alumni engagement Campaign in Canadian history. The Campaign is unique in that it has twin goals: * To raise $1.5 billion for student learning, research excellence and community engagement by the end of the Campaign * To double the number of alumni engaged with the university to 50,000 annually by the end of the Campaign. The Campaign is scheduled to run until 2015. Generations of faculty, staff, students, alumni and community supporters have built an outstanding university. With the combined talents of Development and alumni UBC under one portfolio, we will continue to benefit from their foresight, cultivate their enthusiasm and welcome their investment.
