Gifts by U.S. Residents to Carleton University
Although you may no longer call Canada home, your connection to Carleton University and the memories you made here remain a meaningful part of your life. Think back to your time on campus: the brilliant colours of autumn, skating on the Rideau Canal on a crisp winter day or spending time in the quad alongside Carleton's famous groundhogs. These experiences helped shape your journey, and by supporting Carleton today, you can help ensure that future generations of students have the same opportunities to learn, grow and create lasting memories of their own.
Recognizing that many of our U.S.-based alumni and friends have a strong desire to give back to Carleton, we have partnered with Chapel & York to make supporting the university as simple as possible. The Chapel & York US Foundation is a registered 501(c)(3) charitable organization that accepts gifts designated for Carleton University, allowing American donors to receive applicable U.S. charitable tax benefits. As a fund holder with Chapel & York, Carleton can effectively receive and steward philanthropic support from donors in the United States, making it easier than ever for our community south of the border to stay connected and make a lasting impact.
Partnering with Chapel & York allows Carleton University to accept a wider range of gifts than ever before, making it easier for our U.S.-based supporters to give in the way that best aligns with their philanthropic goals. Through Chapel & York, donors can make gifts by credit card, cash, cheque, shares and securities, gifts through their will or estate plan, beneficiary designations, and even tax-free distributions from Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs).
This flexibility ensures that alumni and friends can support Carleton in a manner that is both convenient and tax efficient.
Wherever in the world life takes you, your Carleton connection remains strong. And should your travels ever bring you back to Ottawa, please let us know. We'd be happy to meet up on campus, say hello to the groundhogs, admire the changing seasons and share a poutine while catching up on all that's happened since your student days!
