Fundraising suitable for Nipissing University has to demonstrate some benefit to the student experience, a particular department, or the University as a whole. As Nipissing is a registered charity, the Advancement department manages all fundraising at the University and issues charitable tax receipts for all contributions. Therefore, approved fundraising initiatives must demonstrate the aforementioned qualities to qualify for charitable receipts in order to be compliant with the Canada Revenue Agency.  Initiatives designed to directly benefit one student, faculty, or staff, are not suitable for Nipissing University fundraising.

Third party fundraising for Nipissing is driven, planned, and executed by an individual or organization external to Nipissing University. All donations accepted by Nipissing and fundraising activities on behalf of Nipissing are subject to relevant university policies and procedures.

All fundraising must directly benefit Nipissing, follow Canada Revenue Agency guidelines, and be approved by the Advancement department.

For more information on Third Party Fundraising, please contact Logan Buckton at loganbu@nipissingu.ca or (705) 474-3450 ext. 4421
