Thank you to our donors!

You give NSCAD and our students the power to create. Thank you for supporting excellence.

To NSCAD’s many donors we extend our heartfelt thanks for your generosity and passion for the work we do.

This has been one of the most challenging years in NSCAD’s long history. Events have demanded that we apply our creativity to an unanticipated situation and our faculty, staff and students have shown their adaptability.

Your gifts have supported many areas of the university, but overwhelmingly, they have been directed to scholarships and bursaries. Thank you for your part in ensuring that the NSCAD experience is available and accessible.

This list includes gifts received April 1, 2021 through March 31, 2022.

1887 SOCIETY

The 1887 Society celebrates the philanthropic spirit that perpetuates the university.

FOUNDERS SOCIETY
In 1887, the “lady directors” behind the Victoria School of Art and Design sought to create an institution that would have a lasting effect on their city’s cultural life and, at the same time, pay tribute to Queen Victoria in honor of her 50th year on the throne. Civic-minded women such as Anna Leonowens, Mrs. Jeremiah (née Mary Helen Furniss) Kenny, and sisters Ella and Eliza Ritchie believed passionately in the value of an education in art and design. Named in honour of NSCAD’s visionary founders, The Founders Society recognizes those who, over the course of their giving to NSCAD, have donated $100,000 to $999,999.

ANNA LEONOWENS LEGACY SOCIETY
The Anna Leonowens Legacy Society recognizes and honors friends and members of the NSCAD community who have thoughtfully provided for the university’s future in their estate plans. To become a member of the Anna Leonowens Legacy Society, you need to notify us that your will, trust or life income arrangement provides for NSCAD University.
