Donations

Individuals and organizations are encouraged to make a donation to the foundation. There are many reasons to donate, including; gifts in lieu of flowers or in honour of credit union pioneers, a retirement or birthday gift, in memory of loved ones, in recognition of volunteer work, as a bequest, or in order to leave a legacy for future generations. Whatever the reason, you can be sure that the recipients of foundation bursaries are incredibly appreciative of the support they receive. Over two hundred bursaries are provided annually to post-secondary students throughout BC.

Indicate to which Memorial or Trust fund you wish the donation be credited.  Please refer to the Memorials & Trusts section of the website for a full list of the existing funds from which to choose.  For example, if you have an affiliation with a specific credit union, you may wish to select that credit union’s named fund.  If you have an interest in international development, the A. Rod Glen International Trust Fund may be appropriate.  While awards from some funds may indicate preference to specific studies or communities, most are made available for all students, in particular the Credit Union Pioneers Memorial.
