Donors and Sponsors

Thank you for your support

The corporation is extremely grateful for the generous contributions of our donors, and for the investments made by our corporate sponsors. Their support is instrumental in helping us achieve our goals for exhibitions, programming and collections development for both the Canadian Museum of History and the Canadian War Museum.

Spotlight on the Canadian History Hall

The Canadian History Hall gallery entrances

Since the campaign was first launched, the Museum has received support from over 430 donors from across the country, consisting of individuals, foundations and corporations. The Museum has raised nearly $9 million for the Canadian History Hall, a milestone amount, surpassing its original target of $5 million.

The Museum of History was fortunate to receive several significant record-breaking donations from notable philanthropists. All three galleries of the Canadian History Hall have been named for distinguished Canadian families.

Gallery 1: Rossy Family Gallery

The Rossy Family Foundation is supporting the Hall with a generous gift of $3 million. Of this sum, $1 million is allocated to the Rossy Family Canadian History Hall Education Project Fund.

Gallery 2: Fredrik Eaton Family Gallery

The Catherine and Fredrik Eaton Family Charitable Foundation have generously donated $2 million in support of the Hall.

Gallery 3: The Honorable Hilary M. Weston and W. Galen Weston Gallery

The W. Garfield Weston Foundation and the Weston Family are proud supporters of Gallery 3 of the Hall with a generous gift of $2 million.

The Museum would also like to give special thanks to the other generous Canadian History Hall donors who have pledged $100,000 or more in support of this legacy project since the campaign was first launched:
