Financial assets - RRSP, RRIF and TFSA

A gift of registered financial assets like RRSP, RRIF, and TFSA, is a meaningful way to support USask using savings you have built over time. By naming USask as a beneficiary, you can create a lasting impact on the initiatives that matter most to you, while keeping full access to your assets during your lifetime. Your donation transfers to the university tax free and a charitable receipt will be issued. We invite you to connect with us for a conversation about the legacy you hope to create through USask.

Gift by beneficiary designation

There are three steps to make a gift by beneficiary designation:

  1. Request a Change of Beneficiary form from the firm that holds your assets.
  2. Complete the form using USask’s legal name, the University of Saskatchewan at Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and charitable registration no. 11927 9313 RR0001.
  3. Contact us to draft a Letter of Intent to share your intentions for the direction of your gift.
The University of Saskatchewan advises donors to discuss their charitable giving plans with their professional advisors and family. Your legal or professional advisor can provide you with legal, estate, or tax planning advice for your personal situation.
