Giving

We are deeply grateful to all in our community who supported the mission of Otis College of Art and Design through their generous contributions during the 2020-2021 fiscal year.

Otis College of Art and Design is a not-for-profit educational institution that thrives on the support of our generous donors. Direct your tax-deductible contribution to any department or program that you choose. Learn more about ways to give. 

Whatever your passion, you can inspire future generations of creative leaders, thinkers, and makers with a bequest in your will or trust, or through other planned gifts like retirement accounts and life insurance policy beneficiary designations. 

Strategic philanthropy furthers our mission in meaningful ways, providing flexible funds to address the College’s greatest operational needs; scholarships for talented students who would not otherwise be able to pursue their dreams of higher education and creative professions; resources for public programs and curricular enhancements; and investments in capital expansion.

The impact of your gift to Otis College could be doubled, even tripled.

Many employers sponsor matching gift programs and will match any charitable contributions made by their employees. Some companies match gifts made by retirees and/or spouses. Find out if your company has a matching gift program.

The Group is an independent non-profit organization, founded in 1972. Its members enjoy unique art and design excursions, luncheons, and boutiques, which raise funds for seven scholarships awarded to Otis College students annually. 

Otis College's annual Atelier scholarship benefit is a night to celebrate the creativity, diversity, and talent of our students. Atelier showcases women’s, men’s, and junior wear designed and fabricated by Otis Fashion Design students under the direction of renowned mentors and instructors.
