Support Students

Our students define not only what CFIS is today, but also what it can be tomorrow. Donations to student awards and graduate programs provide much needed opportunities that enhance and improve student life in every corner of UBC.

Support Research

From the beginning of their careers, our students and researchers have crashed through preconceptions and staked out new frontiers. But breaking new ground has its costs. The pace and scope of change require investments on an ongoing basis. Your support allows us to bring together world-class researchers and students, space and materials.

Support Community Engagement

The world doesn’t stand still, and neither can we. Our students and researchers have the potential to address critical problems in their communities and regions. But to do so, we must have the resources to respond to new opportunities and challenges. We count on the continuing concern and participation of our donors to help us find solutions that connect us to our world and its people.
