Endowment Matched
We would like to thank all of those generous donors who helped us meet our Endowment Foundation fundraising goal of $2 million by November 30, 2008. Reaching this financial benchmark allowed us to take full advantage of the available federal endowment matching programmes, maximizing the value of your donations. The Department of Canadian Heritage has continued their matching program into 2009 so we are once again eligible for another $2 million in matching funds this year.
For more information or to give to the Endowment Foundation, please contact Teri Worthington Coombs at 416 345 9686 x 325.
