Join The Legacy Circle

“When we cast our bread upon the waters, we can presume that someone downstream whose face we will never know will benefit from our action.”
Maya Angelou

People who include a bequest in their wills for The University of Winnipeg become members of The Legacy Circle, joining with like-minded individuals in building legacies through their planned gifts. Legacy Circle members have an opportunity to establish and renew meaningful connections to our University.

Through Legacy Circle annual gatherings, Legacy Circle Members can celebrate the University's achievements. Being part of The Legacy Circle helps our University friends and alumni stay well informed about exciting developments and programs.


We would be pleased to learn about your legacy gift

A growing number of people are committed to supporting The University of Winnipeg. If you have already made a bequest, we invite you to make this known to The University of Winnipeg Foundation.
