Philanthropy

The Philanthropy Department is responsible for Annual Fund, Legacy gifts and Major Gifts at Lakehead University. Working with donors, prospective donors and alumni to help them make the right gift to satisfy their philanthropic goals while supporting both university-wide and faculty based priorities.

It is important to us that all of our donors understand the impact of their gifts, the difference they can make, and how their values are reflected in the many priorities of the University.
