About the Annual Fund
Each year in May, the University of Ottawa begins its annual fundraising campaign to seek financial support from alumni and friends to further the potential of our great University. The funds received support such priorities as student scholarships and Financial Aid, scientific research and improvements to the campus labs, buildings and resources. During the 2007-2008 campaign, the University community donated over $1.8 million. This sum is made even more impressive by the fact that 84 per cent of the gifts were under $100 – a testament that every donation is significant.
