Break down barriers to belonging for Laurier students in 2023

Dec. 16, 2022

At Laurier, community is at the heart of everything we do — and every student on our campuses deserves to feel the sense of belonging that sets the Laurier community apart, regardless of their race, gender, ethnicity, religious beliefs, sexuality or ability.  

You can invest in a better future for Laurier students by making a donation to the university’s Centre for Student Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (CSEDI), the student-led and student-focused centre working to build a safer, more inclusive Laurier for all students.  

And, your donation will go twice as far! Thanks to the generosity of the Wilfrid Laurier University Alumni Association, your gift to CSEDI’s highest priority needs will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to a total maximum of $50,000. 

Your gift to CSEDI will directly support the centre’s student-led services, clubs and associations such as: 

• The Association of Black Students (Waterloo)
• The Rainbow Centre (Waterloo)
• The Black Students’ Collective (Brantford)
• The Middle Eastern Students’ Association (Brantford) 
• The Queer Sphere (Brantford) 
• The Muslim Students’ Association (multi-campus) 

Whether you give to support CSEDI, scholarships and bursaries, or another area at the university, thank you for investing in a better future for Laurier students. 

All donations made to Laurier before midnight on Dec. 31, 2022 are eligible for a 2022 tax receipt.  

Ensure your donation is properly credited for the 2022 tax year
