Annual Giving

Your Gift, Your SAIC

Your annual gift to the School makes a direct impact on the SAIC community—especially our students—by providing them with the necessary resources and support to become the artists, designers, and scholars of a better tomorrow. No matter what role you play in our community—when you choose to support SAIC, you choose to connect with and validate the potential of this remarkable network of changemakers.
