Charitable Gifts to the College

The Division of Institutional Advancement has always been aware of how fortunate Canisius is to have loyal donors. In order to ensure continued support and so our donors are able to claim the benefits of their gift on their 2019 taxes, please forward any donations that may have been received by your department to Advancement Services GM203 attention: Katie Huck.

All gifts to the college must be recorded in Banner so that a proper tax receipt may be issued by December 31, 2019.   This is an ongoing policy and as we get to the end of the calendar year, time is critical. If you have any questions please call Katie Huck at Ext. 8211 or Email huckk@canisius.edu.

Thank you and happy holidays!
