The National Gallery of Canada Foundation looks to the support of art enthusiasts and philanthropists like you to help the National Gallery
carry out its world-class programs today and for generations to come. 

There are many ways to contribute to the Foundation in support of the Gallery’s endeavours:

• Immediate financial gifts (of money or securities)
• Immediate gifts of works of art or real estate
• Legacy gifts, such as bequests, life insurance, securities, and real estate

You can also use any one of these ways of giving to establish with the Foundation an endowment or a special project fund that will benefit the Gallery now and over the long term. The Foundation aims to build the strategic endowments in all key priority areas of the Gallery:

• Acquisition of works of art
• Curatorial research and support
• Restoration and conservation of works of art
• Acquisition and preservation of historical research, rare books, technical material and other documents for the Library
• Internships and research fellowships
• Education and public programmes
• CyberMuse and new technologies
• National outreach and travelling exhibitions

We are pleased to acknowledge the support of all our patrons.

However you choose to support us, we are deeply indebted to you for your generosity.

What is an Endowment Fund?

Establishing an endowment fund with the National Gallery of Canada Foundation is one of the most effective ways to provide the Gallery with
meaningful and long-lasting financial support for its programs and activities. With this type of fund, your donation is held and invested over a period of years, often in perpetuity, while the investment income is directed to the designated activities of the Gallery. Such a fund allows the Gallery a greater degree of financial stability and guaranteed income to carry out its projects and programs.

What is a Special Project Fund?

A special project fund is designated to a specific project, for a specific period of time, and the funds are directed accordingly.
