Major Gifts to Toronto Private School for Boys

Transform the Student Experience

Since 1829, community generosity has been a UCC cornerstone

Across the centuries, our community has rallied during pivotal moments to provide the programs and facilities necessary for students to thrive.

Whether through endowed or expendable major gifts, these transformative contributions create powerful, long-term opportunities for both students and faculty. By supporting specific campaigns and school initiatives, our generous donors ensure UCC remains a leading environment for learning and growth.

Types of Major Gifts

Endowed Gifts

These contributions have enduring impact. The school’s endowment is invested in and carefully stewarded by the UCC Foundation’s Board of Trustees, and ensures that tradition, excellence and innovation are fostered now — and for future generations. Most endowed funds are restricted by the donor to a specific program. 

Expendable Gifts

These contributions are spent within the fiscal year in which they are received. These gifts may be directed by the donor to a particular program, project or facility, or given as unrestricted gifts to spend on emerging needs.
