What happens next is up to you
The financial contributions of our donors — along with their gifts of imagination, time and energy — are investments that ensure our students will be ready for whatever their future holds.
By supporting student awards, innovative research, capital infrastructure and new programs, you can help to shape the future of the Lethbridge College community. We are committed to ensuring that the training we deliver prepares graduates to step into exciting new careers. But we can’t do it without you, and we’re grateful for your continued support.
Ways to Give
Giving a gift each year or a small amount every month helps to create a sustainable annual fund to help students manage financial pressures, meet emerging needs, undertake new initiatives and keep the momentum going. Gifts of any size to the annual fund are welcome and appreciated. When many people come together to each give a little, the positive impact on students is great.
By supporting student awards and scholarships you can have a direct and immediate impact on Lethbridge College students, empowering them to pursue their education with less worry about their finances.
Donate in support of an existing award or scholarship, or work with us to build your own student award that reflects your philanthropic vision. Take a look at our step-by-step guide to creating a student award.

Leave a bequest
A bequest allows you to make a major charitable contribution that may not be possible during your lifetime, and it reduces taxes payable on your estate. Your lawyer can prepare a new will or add a codicil to an existing will to allow your charitable wishes to be carried out. You remain in control of your assets and you can change your mind should your circumstances require it.
If you let us know that you have included Lethbridge College in your will, we can ensure that we document your wishes and implement them according to your plans. Talk to our team or your lawyer about sample wording to consider for your will.

Give a gift of securities
Securities are one of the easiest and most effective ways to give immediately or through a gift in your will, while providing you with significant tax advantages. The securities of publicly traded companies that are acceptable by the college are those that are registered for trade at a securities exchange in Canada or the United States. These also include mutual funds and some retirement plans (RRSPs, RRIFs and TFSAs).
We encourage donors to discuss proposed planned gifts with their independent legal, financial and/or tax advisors to make sure that they receive a full and accurate explanation of all aspects of their proposed charitable gift.
