A good idea
The CSRS was started by a group of university and community leaders who shared a vision of a neutral and welcoming place for the free exchange of ideas about religion among people of all persuasions - religious and secular, academic and non-academic. On the strength of this vision, the centre has attracted and continues to attract support from many quarters. In addition to partial funding from the University of Victoria, our revenue comes from three main sources: the CSRS endowments, private and corporate donors and research-granting institutions.

The centre welcomes donations from individuals and organizations. All gifts are eligible for a tax receipt from the University of Victoria Foundation. Donations help to support student fellowships, library acquisitions, research development and the CSRS public education programs. Donate now.
