Father Adrien Arsenault Senior Arts Award Fund

This fund provides the financial support for the bi-annual Senior Arts Awards. It is a memorial fund established to recognize the life's work of Father Adrien Arsenault.

The award and associated expenses are financed by the interest earned on the principle of this fund.

Lucy Maud Montgomery Fund

This fund supports the Lucy Maud Montgomery Awards, part of the annual Island Literary Awards. It is managed by the Prince Edward Island Council of the Arts under the auspices of the Lucy Maud Montgomery estate.

The principal of this fund grows through annual contributions from the Estate of Lucy Maud Montgomery from the sale of "Raspberry Cordial" and donations from individuals around the world.

Prince Edward Island Council of the Arts Endowment Fund

This fund was first established in 1989 to finance additional awards and projects as identified by the Prince Edward Island Council of the Arts Board of Directors.

The principle of this fund is not yet sufficient to allow for even moderate annual or bi-annual undertakings. The Council had identified growth of this fund as a priority, and will be contributing from its revenues to achieve this goal.

Partnership with the private sector, and donations from supporters of the arts are a vital component of the Council's plan to grow the fund.

The Prince Edward Island Council of the Arts is a registered Charity #898825575RR0001.
