Give to Chemistry

We ask for your support in our efforts to educate and train the best students from Alberta and around the world, and to continue to be at the forefront of research in chemistry, chemical biology, and materials science well into the 21st century.

The Chemistry Department was founded over 100 years ago, and has played a leading role in research and chemical education in Alberta, Canada and the World since our inception.

We have been ranked amongst the three strongest Chemistry departments in Canada for the past 60 years, and our Faculty continue to excel in research and in teaching. Faculty members hold numerous national and international awards. For example, in 2016, five Faculty members received awards in teaching and research from the Canadian Society for Chemistry and the Chemical Institute of Canada.

Official charitable donation receipts will be issued and can be used by those who file Canadian income tax returns.
