KCAI Fund
By making a contribution today, you are directly supporting our most vulnerable students—helping them create, learn, and thrive. Your gift strengthens the foundation of our future, ensuring our long-term sustainability and independence for generations to come.
At KCAI, we champion innovation and forward-thinking art and design, nurturing the creativity and success of every student. Our ability to offer strong support to our students is possible because of you. Your investment in the KCAI Fund is the foundation of our sustainability—and the lifeline for our students.
Giving Tuesday
December 2, 2025
Join the KCAI community as we come together for our first-ever Giving Day — 24 hours dedicated to generosity, creativity, and the stories that define our students’ experiences.
This year, our goal is to raise $40,000 for the KCAI Annual Fund, which provides vital, unrestricted support for:
- Student Scholarships
- Affordable Housing
- Career Development & Experiential Learning
- Mental & Physical Wellness Resources
These are the supports that make it possible for artists to thrive — and they are made possible by our community.
Every gift, no matter the size, directly impacts the lives of current and future KCAI students.
Mark your calendar for December 2 and join us for a day that celebrates the creativity, resilience, and spirit of our students.
We are dedicated to nurturing the whole artist—financially, professionally, and personally. All of our students receive financial aid and benefit from individualized career guidance through our Professional Practice Center. They also gain invaluable opportunities to exhibit their work in our two on-campus galleries, engaging with the broader creative community.
KCAI is deeply committed to providing a supportive environment where every student feels valued and inspired. Our students are empowered to pursue their passions and share their vision with the world.
Together, we can ensure that KCAI remains a beacon of creative excellence.
