OUR COMMUNITY OF SUPPORTERS

Without our dedicated alums, parents, faculty, staff, and friends, SAIC would be unable to offer our students scholarships, internships, pre-college programming, and so much more.

Annual income from the School’s endowment provides student financial aid, supports academic programming, and funds faculty positions, facilities, and student activities. The endowment enables the School to fulfill its mission as one of the world’s top art and design schools. A gift to the endowment is a gift for more than one lifetime; it is a gift in perpetuity.

Your support is essential to building a vibrant, strong community. We are inspired each and every day by the passion you show for our students and School.

Why I Give

“SAIC students are exceptional. For all the teaching I do, I feel like I learn just as much from our students.” Associate Professor Oli Watt supports scholarships

“SAIC has gone above and beyond to help my daughter graduate. I appreciate all the support she received.” Lisa Foy, parent of a 2022 graduate, supports the Fund for SAIC

“SAIC, more than any other school I’ve had experience with, understands and respects mental and emotional wellness. I’m donating to support student wellness.” Francesca Gagliano (MFA 2011) supports the Wellness Fund

“We believe that the arts are able to make this world a more human place and can be the catalyst for needed changes. We want to help, through scholarships, to make art education for everyone who wants to pursue it—not just for those with means to do so!”
