Each year, UNB receives gifts from donors like you in memory and in honour of students, alumni, current and former faculty and staff, and friends. Your gifts further UNB’s mission of teaching, research, and service to the community.

Gifts made in memory

A memorial donation is a thoughtful way you can remember someone who has passed, while carrying on their legacy.

  • Births and birthdays
  • Weddings and anniversaries
  • Graduations and retirements
  • Mother’s Day or Father’s Day
  • Get well, good luck, best wishes, congratulations, thank you

Student awards can be a lasting tribute:

By establishing a student award (such as a scholarship or bursary, or for other purposes), In Memoriam or In Honour gifts can help students succeed at UNB. In these instances, we work closely with the appropriate family member or friend to support them in this special effort. To learn more, or to establish a named fund in memory or in honour of someone, please contact Olivia Parker in Fredericton or Marion Williams in Saint John.
