Innovation is made possible by your support.
The community plays a key role in making innovation at UBC a reality. Last year, the university received more than $37 million in donations from alumni, parents, business, government and other friends of the university. Each faculty feels the impact of these gifts-some examples are provided in the sidebar article. As the costs of conducting innovative research and providing students with a top education continue to increase, these contributions are essential in helping UBC's future innovators to pursue their ambitions and goals. They fund innovative research projects that could otherwise not be pursued, and they provide funds for upgrading equipment and resources. Donor support enables UBC to strengthen its reputation even further, as we pursue our goal of being the best university in Canada.
