Brandeis Alumni, Family and Friends

Canadian law allows Canadian taxpayers to make tax-deductible donations to “prescribed universities” outside Canada—and Brandeis qualifies as such. Gifts can be made in Canadian dollars or U.S. dollars. Brandeis University will send Canadian-based donors an official tax receipt as required under Canadian law.
