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]

In 2020, The Elizabeth Greenshields Foundation awarded close to C $1.4M in grants to 88 artists and art students.[1][15][16][17] Since its inception, it has granted some C $26M to over 1900 students and artists in more than 40 countries.[2]
