Thank You Matters
Capilano University appreciates the generosity of donors who make Capilano University a priority in their philanthropy.

Many of these donors also give in memory of a loved one - a spouse, parent or child who cared deeply about education. Award recipients are encouraged to express their gratitude by writing a letter of thank you; receiving this letter is the best thank you a donor can receive.
