The BCIT Foundation helps plan gifts by working closely with donors, family members and professional advisors. Many donors have honoured BCIT by leaving the BCIT Foundation a bequest in their Will. Sample bequest language is available from the BCIT Foundation to ensure that these gifts create a lasting legacy for BCIT and its students. Top Named for an individual, company or organization, endowments support BCIT students or specific program needs. Once established, an endowment can grow further through the gifts of others.
Memorial endowments are a lasting legacy to the memory of a loved one.
An endowment is a way to give to BCIT in perpetuity, helping the students of today and tomorrow. An initial donation provides the capital of the fund and only the interest income is disbursed for the purposes chosen by the donor. In this way, donations to the fund are preserved while generating a perpetual source of income. Endowments fund scholarships, bursaries and awards or support specific program needs. The life of a friend, family member or colleague may be honoured through a memorial endowment.
