Support SAIC

There are many ways to lend your support and give back to SAIC. We invite you to click the links below for information about these opportunities.

Give Online Today!

Gifts to The School of the Art Institute of Chicago have a profound impact on our students. With seventy percent of our student population receiving some form of financial aid, the annual support we receive from alumni and friends is critical to keeping the doors of opportunity open for each new generation of artists.

Online donations are quick and easy using our secure online giving form, and you can decide when and how you want to donate.

Scholarship Funds
Scholarship support has a profound and long-lasting impact on the creative life of a young artist or designer, and is an investment in our cultural future. Scholarships create a meaningful connection between students, the people who have invested in them, and the next generation of innovative thinkers. These opportunities advance our students’ education, give them an advantage in their future careers, and encourage them to give back to the community that made their education possible.

Leadership and Legacy Gifts
Endowed leadership gifts ensure long-term investment in SAIC and are vital to the future of SAIC because they generate predictable, growing streams of income in perpetuity. By endowing a fund at SAIC, you will create an enduring legacy that will continue to transform the education of SAIC students for generations to come.

Planned Giving
A planned gift can often maximize your philanthropic support for SAIC and provide tax advantages to you and your family. Planned, or deferred gifts allow you to make a substantial gift as part of your estate planning and often take the form of bequests in a will or living trust. Many planned gift options can also provide you with income throughout your lifetime, before transferring the full gift to SAIC. Planned gifts have been integral to the advancement of SAIC for over a hundred years and continue to make a great impact today. 

Volunteer
One of the most important ways that alumni can give back is through volunteering.
