Leave your legacy at the U of M with a planned gift

What is a planned gift?

Planned gifts come in many forms: gifts in a will, gifts of securities, gifts-in-kind, annuities or insurance-related gifts. There are many potential tax advantages to gift planning.

How to give

Join the Isbister Legacy Society

The University of Manitoba received its first donation in 1885 through a bequest from Alexander Kennedy Isbister, a Métis scholar, educator, lawyer, and author. Isbister left an $83,000 donation and over 4,000 books to the University of Manitoba.

The Isbister Legacy Society recognizes the over 700 individuals who have informed us about a gift in their wills—and allows the U of M the opportunity to recognize them for their generosity.
Gifts from alumni based in the USA

Numerous gift-planning opportunities exist for the University’s alumni based in the United States.

Under the Canada-United States Income Tax Convention, University of Manitoba alumni and their family members (spouses, children, grandchildren, parents and siblings) may make donations directly to the University of Manitoba and use the charitable receipt for your US income tax returns.

Other US citizens (or residents), corporations, foundations, estates and trusts requiring a US tax receipt, may contribute to the University of Manitoba Foundation USA, a not-for-profit organization recognized under the US Internal Revenue Code, Section 501(c)(3).
