BEQUESTS AND DONATIONS
While the Los Angeles County Art Institute is maintained
and operated out of public funds, these do not and cannot cover
all functions and activities vital to the full realization of the
Institute's program. There may be individuals or organizations
willing to consider a bequest or donation. For this reason, the
following three areas for assistance are suggested:
Scholarship Fund
Library Fund
Special Activities Fund
In regard to scholarships, there are alv/ays a few more
highly qualified, prospective students, without the necessary
funds, than scholarships available. As to the Library, a good
beginning has been made toward the building-up of a comprehensive art and design library, which is an indispensable element
in the Institute's program, and which, on the professional level
and under one roof, does not exist at present in the region. As to
special activities, whether of purely educational, or, again, of a
social nature, they play a significant role, at the right moment,
in a program dedicated to guiding students to maturity as human
beings and to competence in their individual fields.
Bequests and gifts may be made to the Los Angeles
County Art Institute Associates, a body incorporated to receive
and hold funds and property for the Institute, and independent
of the County. Such gifts are deductible for income tax
purposes.
