The Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation

The Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation (formerly The Elizabeth T. Greenshields Memorial Foundation) is a private Canadian charity[1] that provides young artists with grants. Recipients may be studying or in an early or developmental stage of their career.[2]

History

It was established in 1955 by the Montreal lawyer Charles Glass Greenshields, Q.C. (1883-1974),[3] an amateur artist,[4][5] in memory of his mother, Elizabeth T. Glass.[6][7][8][9][10] It was endowed by Mr. Greenshields and does not solicit or receive external funding.[1] By the terms of its endowment, it is precluded from funding the pursuit of abstract or non-objective art.[11][12][13]

It received the Excellence in Fine Art Education Award from the Portrait Society of America[14] in 2016 and the Gari Melchers Memorial Medal from the Artists’ Fellowship[15] in 2021.

In 2020, The Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation awarded close to C $1.4M in grants to 88 artists and art students.[1][16][17][18] Since its inception, it has granted some C $27M to over 2000 students and artists in more than 80 countries.[2]
