In Memoriam Gifts

Many CAs are very active in the profession, and their colleagues or family wish to acknowledge and continue their contributions by setting up memorial funds and/or scholarships for students. In fact, the predecessor organization to the CA Education Foundation was the Institute's Memorial Scholarship Fund. This fund was started in 1969/1970, with the goal to establish the first memorial scholarship to be known as the Desmond O'Brien Memorial Scholarship. Over the years, additional "in memoriam" donations have been made.

The CAEF annually grants the following "in memoriam" scholarships

• The Desmond O'Brien Memorial Scholarships at UBC and SFU
• The William Rowe Memorial Scholarship at UBC
• The John Hadfield Memorial Scholarship at Camosun College.
• The Jim Miller DAP Scholarship at UBC
• The Peter Stanley Scholarship at UBC

Other "in memoriam" funds may be established without a specific named scholarship. For instance,

• The Geoffery W.J. Carter Memorial Education Fund was established in 1991 - and forms part of the Endowment Funds which are devoted to the advancement of accounting education through measures designed to enhance the quality of undergraduate training; increase the enrolment of promising students through scholarships and to provide for professionally related research.

If you wish to set up a memorial fund or scholarship, please contact Jan Sampson, CA at sampson@ica.bc.ca or 604-681-3264 or 1-800-663-2677.
