The Audain Art Museum Foundation is a registered charity established to raise funds for the permanent endowment that will provide a source of financial support to the Museum to ensure the continuation of inspiring exhibitions and dynamic programming in the years ahead.

Since its creation in 2013, response to the endowment campaign has been strong with the Foundation being one of the largest of its kind dedicated to supporting arts and culture in Canada. Thank you to all our Founders.

Looking ahead, we continue to gather community support and welcome new patrons to our family of founders.

We invite you to become a Founder with a minimum donation of $100,000. Benefits such as lifetime memberships for two, recognition on the Founders Wall, guest invitations to the Museum’s annual Gala, and access to a number of other exclusive events throughout the year.

Join us as a Principal Founder with a donation of $250,000, or explore placing your family or company name on the building with naming opportunities beginning with donations of $500,000 or more.

We are also pleased to work with donors to establish named endowments to support specific aspects of the Museum’s operations such as key staff positions, educational programs, major exhibitions or art acquisitions.

Or consider legacy giving to leave a meaningful impact
