The Royal Canadian Academy of Arts (RCA),
an enduring and dynamic national institution founded in
1880, is committed to the encouragement and cultivation
of the arts of painting, sculpture, architecture and design
in the graphic, decorative and industrial arts.
The Academy seeks to celebrate the achievements of excellence
and innovation by visual artists across Canada, to encourage
new generations of artists, and to facilitate the exchange
of ideas about visual culture, for the benefit of all Canadians.
The Royal Canadian Academy of Arts Foundation (RCA
Foundation) is a registered charitable trust and operates
as the fundraising vehicle of the Academy. It is managed
by a board of nine trustees. Audited financial statements
are available on request. Donors are issued a charitable
tax receipt and are recognized in all RCA publications
and media releases.
Fundraising efforts by the RCA Foundation support the
Academy’s three major activities: the RCA
Trust Fund which provides grants to public
galleries across Canada to purchase and exhibit works of
living Canadian artists; the RCA
Scholarship Fund which provides financial
assistance to young Canadians for post-graduate study in
the visual arts, and the RCA
Programme Fund, which mounts exhibitions,
produces publications and other public activities to foster
awareness and appreciation of the visual arts.
RCA Foundation will undertake a major fundraising
campaign in 2006. For more information on how
