Partner Nigel Piper, sister Erin Racioppa, and. friends Laurie Gruer, Bill Stearman and Jim Turner, along with The County Foundation, are very pleased to announce the official opening of The Natalie Piper Fine & Digital Arts Bursary.
Natalie passed away in June of this year – loved by all who were lucky enough to know her.
She was a vital part of a large and loving family and a wide circle of friends. She was a talented artist, graphic designer, teacher, and businesswoman. She loved beauty – art, music, theatre, design, and all things creative. And she created beautiful things. With her sparkling spirit, she had, and with your help will continue to have, a major impact on her community in Prince Edward County.
Designed as a lasting tribute to Natalie – we are dedicated to raising enough funds to award an annual bursary of $2000 – in perpetuity. To do that, we need to create an endowment of $40,000. To date, $8,200 has been raised – an excellent start.
We are looking to you – family, friends, business partners and supporters – to help ensure Natalie’s impact and spirit of community continues. Your generosity makes all the difference.
There are numerous ways to give. One time or monthly credit card donation (via Canada Helps), cheque, e-transfer, and gifts of securities and foreign exchange can all be made through The County Foundation. Please consider making a donation today.
