Queen's Benefactor Wall

On permanent display in the loggia of the Joseph S. Stauffer Library, the Queen's University Benefactor Wall celebrates in a public and permanent way our most generous lifetime benefactors—individuals, estates, foundations, and companies—whose cumulative giving of $100,000 or more have been recorded as received by the University. The wall is updated each fall annually. We invite you to stop by on your next visit to campus.

Royal Legacy Society

The Royal Legacy Society recognizes those alumni and friends who have thoughtfully remembered the University through a bequest or another future gift commitment. If you have already remembered Queen’s with a future gift, please contact our Gift Planning Team so that we can appropriately honour your intention. Royal Legacy donors are recognized on our donor wall in the 1923 Reading Room in Douglas Library.

By informing us of your wishes:

  • We will help to ensure that your gift can be accepted by the university and used as you have intended.
  • We can advise you on any special considerations or issues related to your gift plan that may need to be addressed so that your gift is eligible for a charitable tax receipt.
  • Most importantly, joining the Royal Legacy Society allows us to thank you and celebrate your generous gift plans for Queen’s.

As a member of the Royal Legacy Society, you are recognized for making a gift that will reach beyond your lifetime. As a thank you, you will receive:

  • A certificate of appreciation signed by the Principal and Vice-Chancellor
  • Invitations to special campus and regional events
  • Financial planning newsletters and publications
  • Recognition as a benefactor in Queen’s publications and on displays, with your permission

If you have already made plans to remember Queen's with a future gift, please let us know by either contacting the Gift Planning Team directly.
