IMA’s Endowment
In 2007, in recognition of its 30th Anniversary, IMA established an Endowment Fund in order to provide funding for scholarships to its programs. Start-Up funds for the endowment were raised through the generous donation of artworks by over thirty artists who took part in IMA’s 30×30 exhibition and auction. With matching funds from the Quesnel Community Foundation, the Vancouver Foundation and Heritage Canada, IMA’s endowment grew to $50,000. As of 2025, IMA’s endowment, which is held with the Quesnel Community Foundation, is just over $100,000.00.
