Read on to find out if you are eligible for our Community Giving Program.
The Canadian Canoe Museum’s Donations
The Canadian Canoe Museum is proud to be part of the community and to support its community members. Every month, The Canadian Canoe Museum will award a limited number of complimentary visits for two guests (approximate value: $40.00). Cash donations will not be provided by The Canadian Canoe Museum.
Due to the large number of requests, only a limited number of donation requests will be considered each month. Donations will be awarded on a first-come, first-served monthly basis.
The following are eligible to receive donations from The Canadian Canoe Museum:
- Registered charities or not-for-profit organizations
- Organizations with projects that align with the Museum’s funding priorities: youth education, community, and the great outdoors
- Recognized government entities that are requesting in-kind donations exclusively for public fundraising
- Public/private schools, registered youth clubs and organizations, colleges/universities
