Giving Tomorrow
Investing in people
For Hugo Peters, donating to CMU is a wise investment because it means contributing to the lives of students.
"I've invested in all kinds of things in my life, some of which went south, some of which made money, but I've never regretted investing in people," says Peters (CMBC '63).
"It's the best investment because it's long term, even beyond my life," he adds. "These are people who are going to make the world move along in directions that are good."
What are your hopes and goals for the long term future?
A gift in your will to CMU lives on in students who will shape society and the church for years to come.
Your generosity has a direct impact on students at CMU: where teaching is exceptional; faith and community matter; learning and career connect; and professors know their students.
Because gifts in wills are extraordinary, CMU places all gifts without special designations in a special fund and draws ten percent of the principal of the fund into income each year. Pooled and invested together, the power of a gift in your will is multiplied and can have a lasting impact for future generations.
If you have a specific area of interest that you would like to suggest to CMU as part of your gift, please contact us.
To make a gift in your will to CMU, indicate the specific dollar amount, percentage of residue, or asset you wish to give. The gift should be to: Canadian Mennonite University, 885608323 RR 0001.
Naming Opportunities
There are a variety of naming opportunities for gifts to CMU and may include funds for particular program areas, scholarship and bursaries, new buildings or renovations, faculty positions, and more. Gift agreements are made in advance for these naming opportunities.
