Without the generosity of its many supporters, VANS could not offer such a wide range of programs and services. Registered as a charitable organization, all donations made to VANS over $20 are tax deductible and will receive a charitable tax receipt.

Donate to VANS’ greatest needs

General donations give us the most flexibility to support our area of greatest need. Funding restrictions often result in operating expense and core programming shortfalls. Donating to our area of greatest need contributes to the sustainability and flexibility of the organization to best serve the needs of artists as they arise.

Membership Bursary
By contributing to the membership bursary fund, you can help give a free VANS membership to an artist facing financial barriers that prevent them from accessing membership. Your contribution will support additional membership bursaries for artists in need.

VANS Artist Emergency Fund
The VANS Artist Emergency Fund  (AEF) has been created in response to concern that artists generally do not have access to safety nets such EI, health insurance or even insurance to cover studio loss in case of an emergency such as fire or flood.

PAINTS Donation
Support professional artists in Nova Scotia classrooms.

Other forms of support

Sponsorship, estate or legacy giving information relating to a particular VANS program or services are available. For more information, please contact director@visualarts.ns.ca.
