Donate to SVI

SVI is deeply grateful for the many donors who partner in our mission through financial contributions. Every donation gives the gift of opportunity to the resident students and the community.

There are many ways your gift can make a difference.
Your gift can have an impact on our needs to:

  • improve facilities for students

  • improve library resources

  • enhance available funds for scholarships

  • improve and expand the cultural/educational programming

  • provide for long-term financial stability

We recognize every donor with a "thank you" letter along with a receipt for tax purposes.

As a result of donor support, SVI established funds in two areas that are making a difference - An Endownment Fund and Scholarship Funds.

SVI encourages all donors who are planning a significant gift to seek independent legal and financial planning advice.

There are many ways in which you can donate to SVI

  • An approach to making charitable gifts that benefit you, your beneficiaries and SVI. It can help minimize tax and maximize estate benefits. Common ways of planned giving:

    – bequests and wills
    – securities and shares
    – charitable reminder trusts
    – real estate
    – insurance policy
    – other ways

    Tax implications should be discussed with your financial adviser or by referring to Revenue Canada publication

  • Gifts can be of personal property, e.g. books, art work, special equipment or other tangible personal property.

  • A meaningful way to make a donation to recognize someone. Gifts can be for any reason (anniversary, birthdays, retirements, death, etc.).

  • Our established funds are the Michael and Effie Bodnar Scholarship, the Alexander Anthony Lasko Scholarship, the John Yaremko Scholarship and the Kozy Scholarship.

    These annual scholarships, provided to multiple numbers of recipients, are made possible by funds donated by supporters of St. Volodymyr Institute. To ensure scholarships are available perpetually, only interest earned on these gifts will be used for the scholarships. They have been established to provide assistance to full-time students residing at SVI.

  • An Endowment Fund was established to provide for the long-term financial stability of SVI. The Fund consists of bequests, which are in excess of $10,000, unless otherwise specified by the donor.

    The Endowment Fund may only be disbursed or allocated upon approval of a General Meeting of Members. However, interest earned from the Funds investment may be used for operations.
