UFV has created a program to support students affected by international conflict. Led by UFV International, the International Emergency Fund (IEF) will support at least two international students affected by crisis or catastrophe for up to two years. The IEF initiative will cover costs ranging from tuition to accommodation, with hopes of replenishing funding past an initial two-year pilot period. UFV International’s previous humanitarian efforts include supporting UFV students to establish a local committee of the World University Service of Canada (WUSC) Student Refugee Program at UFV.

Developed in response to the flooding in the Fall of 2021, UFV partnered with the Abbotsford Community Foundation and the Abbotsford Chamber of Commerce to establish the Abbotsford Disaster Relief Fund. The fund provides grants to local agencies involved in the disaster relief effort, as well as businesses and farmers that have been affected by the flooding.

The UFV Giving Days are an opportunity for the community to come together and raise funds to support deserving UFV students as they work toward their academic goals. Donors support one or more of their preferred causes: Student Awards; Student Emergency Funds; or the UFV-SUS Food Bank. Additionally, there are bursaries, scholarships, leadership awards, entrance awards, and emergency funds that financially support students at UFV. Some are created to support specific groups, such as Indigenous students and female-identifying students.
