In-kind donations provide important resources to enhance the Canisius experience. Whether it be a donation of gently-used instrumentation for a lab or a reception for students hosted by a generous alumnus, these contributions are valued and deserve to be recognized in the spirit of “joyful receiving” that we honor all gifts to the college. This includes outright gifts, and gifts-in-kind donations of goods and or services. The Canisius Fund records all gifts and uses this information to report on our rankings of participation to various funding sources. Please remember to notify us of these gifts by filling out the “Gift-in-Kind” form to the Canisius Fund Office that can be found Gift in Kind Form.
