G E O R G E B U N T I N G “ I took a photography course at MICA through continuing studies, and my wife,Anne, took interior design. For me, art is nourishment for the soul and for the eye. Anne went on to be an artist: a potter and a painter. I became involved with MICA more than 30 years ago. I was fascinated by the studio program combined with a college degree. It’s different from seeing someone studying accounting. It’s rewarding to give to a quality institution, and RIGHT NOW, MICA IS KNOCKING ON THE DOOR TO BE THE to see very positive results from BEST ART COLLEGE IN THE COUNTRY.

I don’t give to specific projects because I think flexibility, in the long run, is more useful for an institution. In MICA, I see the commitment of the faculty and administration, the highly creative students who come here—they’re quite polished and professional when they walk through the door from high school, and they just go on from there. I chaired the committee that brought Fred Lazarus to MICA, and count that as one of my best contributions. His contributions to the community beyond MICA and his role in making MICA a critical anchor for the Mount Royal area don’t go unnoticed beyond the campus.The quality of the faculty, depth of program, comprehensive campus planning—it all works together in harmony to make MICA an institution worth investing in. I think sometimes people don’t realize that an institution like MICA can help you structure your gifts in ways that make the most sense to you, and that you can make a significant contribution to an institution you love without always making an outright gift.You can do planned giving where you have income flowing back and the principal going to the institution. Right now, MICA is knocking on the door to be the best art college in the country. The vision and leadership are there. What’s missing is the endowment. The College’s endowment is small relative to its operating budget and number of students, so growing the endowment is very critical and a high priority for this institution.
