Abbey's Foundation is a memorial charitable foundation dedicated to supporting the next generation of artists. Established in memory of Abigail Julia Maguire, the foundation provides annual scholarships to graduating students from Burlington Central High School who wish to pursue post-secondary education in the arts.
The foundation's primary focus is on arts education, reflecting Abbey's own journey as an architect and artist. Scholarships are awarded to Grade 12 students demonstrating both artistic talent and the kindness and creativity that Abbey embodied. The foundation partners with Toronto Foundation to manage donations and distribute funds.
The foundation carries forward Abbey's legacy by empowering young artists to follow their dreams. Their motto, "Just Start The Rest Will Follow," encapsulates the encouragement they offer to students ready to take their first steps in formal arts education.
While focused on Burlington Central High School specifically, the foundation's impact extends to wherever their scholarship recipients pursue their artistic education. The foundation aims to make a meaningful difference by helping talented students take the next step in their creative journey.
