Carleton’s Community of Legacy Donors

When someone arranges a legacy gift to Carleton, we believe they are elevating us to family status and we want to honour that relationship.

Legacy donors are individuals who choose to support Carleton University through a gift in their will or estate plan, creating a lasting impact for future generations. Their generosity reflects a deep belief in the power of education and the importance of giving back. Many “legacy gifts” support scholarships, bursaries, and other priorities that help make higher education more accessible and transformative for students. As valued members of the Carleton community, legacy donors are recognized for their enduring commitment and celebrated for the legacy they leave in support of students, research, and the greater good.

At Carleton University we have chosen to celebrate and recognize our legacy donors as an integral part of our community that supports our successes now and in the future. Carleton’s community of legacy donors receive prestige invitations to events and special communications to stay connected and engaged with the charity that they consider family.
