Impact of your donation

You make a difference when you give to the McCord Stewart Museum.

  • You are helping us present challenging exhibitions and host artists in residence.
  • You support our efforts to conserve and restore our large collections of objects, images and documents representing more than 1.5 million items in the collections: Archives, Documentary Art, Dress, Fashion and Textiles, Indigenous Cultures, Material Culture, and Photography.
  • You participate in offering bold cultural and educational programming  that brings people together and that enriches everyone.
  • You enable us to open our doors free of charge to people who otherwise could not afford to visit us through your support of our accessibility programs.
  • You help our Archives and Documentation Centre remain THE reference for researchers from here and abroad.

And most importantly, you are supporting the museum you love. Your generosity is vital to us. Thank you for doing so.
