The Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation

The Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation (formerly The Elizabeth T. Greenshields Memorial Foundation) is a private Canadian charity.[1] Its mission is to "provide grants to young artists who are pursuing their studies or are in the early or developmental stage of their career, are working in a representational style of painting, drawing, sculpture or printmaking, and demonstrate the determination and talent to pursue a lifetime career in their art practice." [2]

It was established in 1955 by Charles Glass Greenshields, Q.C. (1883-1974), a distinguished Montreal lawyer [3] and 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]

In 2016, it received the Excellence in Fine Art Education Award from the Portrait Society of America.[14]

Since its inception, The Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation has granted some C $25M to over 1900 students and artists in 40 countries.[2] In 2019, it awarded a total of C $1.55M in grants to 94 artists and art students.[1][15][16][17]
