Donor Recognition at the Museum
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.
2018–2019 Donations and Pledges
This is a list of donors and sponsors who have made financial donations over $250, or pledge instalments for major gifts, during the fiscal year. The category in which each donor is listed reflects the value of the gift or pledge instalment received in the 2018–2019 fiscal year, and does not represent the total gift generously offered to the Museum.
