President’s Associates Program

The University of Mount Saint Vincent President’s Associates (PAs) connects alumnae/i and friends of the University who share a collective passion for the Mount. In an ever-changing environment, their annual donations support the University’s mission of helping students achieve their educational goals by providing essential resources and opportunities that enhance their experiences both inside and outside of the classroom.  

Annual donations from President’s Associates provide the strength and stability of the University’s Annual Fund and make up approximately 70% of its total revenue, allowing the University to offer scholarships and financial aid to our deserving students. Their generosity allows the Mount to provide a transformative liberal arts education for future generations, leaving a legacy of support.   

Collectively, PAs make it possible for the Mount to face new challenges, seize opportunities, and change lives. To become a Presidents Associate, you must donate $1,000 or more annually each fiscal year (July 1-June 30). Gifts can be made in monthly payments, quarterly, or as a lump sum.
