INTRODUCING UFV RIPPLE MAKERS

Welcome to UFV Ripple Makers, UFV’s donor recognition society. We are committed to thanking our donors and reporting back to you on the ripples you are making at UFV and beyond.

You will enjoy a range of opportunities to interact with UFV students, staff, and faculty while being recognized for your generosity.

Anyone can be a ripple maker. With your donation, you can create ripples that offer hope and justice, or forge new ideas, innovation and prosperity for our community.

 

UFV RIPPLE MAKERS SKIPPING STONES

When you attend an in-person event, you will receive a UFV Ripple Makers skipping stone — a symbol of the ripples your donations create.

UFV RIPPLE MAKER PADDLES

The iconic Ripple Makers paddles will be presented to donors throughout the year, based on their donations to UFV.

There are three paddles of distinction, each with its own unique design:

LIFETIME

LOYALTY

LEGACY

including UFV in your Estate Plan

 

Each paddle has been hand-painted by a UFV College of Arts student, and custom engraved at our Trades & Technology Centre.
