About OCAD U
At OCAD U, we acknowledge a simple truth: the world needs creative solutions. It’s why every dollar raised is empowering us to broaden our impact in today’s fast-evolving world.
Art and design have evolved beyond aesthetics into a fundamental strategy for solving complex, interdisciplinary problems. We teach students to innovate and to solve the big problems of our time. They bridge the skills gap in a variety of sectors including manufacturing, technology, finance, automotive and creative industries.
Your donations support OCAD U by creating new opportunities to deliver exceptional, hands-on education to our students. Donations provide students with the tools, technology and training the need to advance culture, industry and health design, supporting career-ready graduates who will make jobs as well as fill them. More than nine out of ten OCAD U alums are employed, and almost the same number have been their own boss.
OCAD U alums have shaped Canada and the world for generations. We are more than a traditional university: we are a major cultural force and city-builder. Learn more about the different ways you can give.
