Discover the unique ways you can contribute to The Canadian Canoe Museum. As a not-for-profit community organization, we rely on generous donations from supporters like you to ensure the continued care of our world-class collection, sustain the engagement and education of student groups and visitors, spark conversation and collaboration, and provide a one-of-a-kind cultural experience.

Our new facility on the water’s edge was made possible by donations from our community members! You, too, can contribute to the continual growth and prosperity of the Museum through a meaningful donation today.

Ways of Giving

There are unique ways of planning your gift to The Canadian Canoe Museum, some of which offer increased tax benefits. More than one type of gift combination may also work well for you. We suggest all donors seek professional advice as to their own personal financial situation.
