Donations 

The EAMT Foundation collects donations in the pursuit of its aims. Donations from EAMT alumni, partners and friends of the academy support both academic and creative projects as well as reward achievement. Targeted donations allow donors to set up named scholarships through monetary contributions or their equivalents (securities, royalties and other assets).

Donors can (but are not required to) specify the purpose of their donation. Targeted donations and bequests are used only for the purposes specified by the donor or bequeather. To award scholarships or prizes as a targeted donation, an application must be submitted to the EAMT Foundation by e-mail to fond@eamt.ee. The EAMT Foundation will enter into an agreement with the donor, specifying the donor’s wishes with regard to the donation, the funds to be donated and all related terms of the donation, including the name of the scholarship, its recurrence, etc.

The Council of the EAMT Foundation will make the final decisions regarding donations without a specified purpose.
