It is especially meaningful for Maine College of Art & Design to be the recipient of gifts to commemorate or honor a student, graduate, family member, faculty member, or friend of the College. Gifts to our endowment benefit the College in perpetuity and provide annual income for scholarships and designated programs and operating support. Annual Fund and Restricted Gifts provide additional vital funding for specific projects that otherwise might not be possible.
