Our Supporters
Mid Island Elder College survives and thrives thanks to the generous support of our loyal members, as well as individual and corporate donors and sponsors.
We are grateful for their financial assistance and for their commitment to our shared goals in education. Our supporters motivate and embolden us, and they contribute to a highly promising future.
Since space does not allow us to list the hundreds of people who have contributed to the well-being of Elder College, they will be thanked in other ways.
At the same time, we would like to acknowledge Berwick Qualicum Beach, the Nanaimo Museum and the Vancouver Island Regional Library, for granting us free use of their facilities, as well as the following generous donors:

Donate
Elder College's ability to continue offering courses hinges on membership and tuition fees plus, importantly, financial contributions from donors. These resources facilitate connecting with our audiences, delivering programs, maintaining registration and other systems, and addressing what would otherwise be an ongoing operational deficit. Since certain students face challenges affording course fees, we have set up a sustainable endowment fund for fee remission, ensuring continual support for lifelong learning among adults over 50.
