We would like to introduce you to a new member of the Nova Scotia Talent Trust family, the Nova Scotia Talent Trust Foundation. The NSTT Foundation is a not-for-profit organization, registered in Nova Scotia, with charitable status.
The impetus for establishing the NSTT Foundation was a generous legacy gift made by the Nova Scotia Coalition on Arts and Culture who wanted to ensure that their contribution would support the work 
of the Nova Scotia Talent Trust now and well into the future.
This, along with the inevitable consequence of ever-increasing demands made on governments for funding, led us to see the importance of having an endowment fund to provide ongoing, stable funding for the Nova Scotia Talent Trust.

The role of the NSTT Foundation is to steward significant resources and make the income available to the NSTT to fund artists in accordance with its mandate.
Now, in addition to supporting our developing artists on an annual basis through the NSTT, you can also make a donation to the endowment fund through the NSTT Foundation. Contributions are eligible for a charitable donation receipt. They may be made as a one-time gift or pledged over time.
Another way to consider support for the NSTT Foundation is through a bequest in your will. Thank you in advance for considering this way of ensuring Nova Scotia artists in the future will continue to be able to reach their full potential.
A member of the volunteer Board of the NSTT Foundation would be happy to meet with you to discuss how best you can ensure the long-term future of the Nova Scotia Talent Trust through this opportunity.
NSTT Foundation Board of Directors:
- Timothy Matthews, KC, President
- Valerie Evans, Secretary
- Andrew Bergel, Treasurer
- Gail Morris
- David Hastings
