On November 15, National Philanthropy Day, Ontario Tech University extends its sincere gratitude to the donors, partners and volunteers who empower students and help uphold the university’s mission.

These supporters are vital members of the Ontario Tech community, enhancing the university’s ability to serve its students and wider community, and playing a key role in the growth and innovation of Ontario Tech.

The dedication and generosity of Ontario Tech’s donors inspire students, showing them the strength of community and confidence in their potential to make a positive impact. Donor support provides access to advanced facilities and resources that drive innovation and groundbreaking research. Donor contributions also help Ontario Tech students benefit from experiential learning and collaborative opportunities.

The generosity of donors is essential to Ontario Tech’s ‘Tech with a Conscience’ ethos: the belief that technological advancement must go hand-in-hand with ethical consideration. Ontario Tech has taken a stand to make ethical responsibility a moral imperative in the design, development, and application of technology.

"Ontario Tech University is profoundly grateful for the kindness and generosity of its donors, partners and volunteers,” says James Barnett, Vice-President, Advancement. "We are proud to celebrate this remarkable community whose contributions are shaping a brighter future for our students, the university, and the broader society."
