Grow the MassArt Foundation Endowment

Building a strong endowment ensures long-term financial sustainability and continued scholarship support for students who need it most. A robust endowment also strengthens faculty development, enhances campus resources, and supports initiatives like the BIPOC Fund, the Mastodon Fund, and the MassArt Art Museum (MAAM), which remains free and open to all.
