Contributions to the Canada’s History Endowment Fund are securely invested and managed. The fund’s capital is kept intact and earned revenue is funneled directly into our educational and youth programs, magazines and special publications, and national awards programs.

Planned Legacy Giving

Planned gifts to Canada’s History provide sustaining support for our important work in making Canada’s past relevant, engaging, and accessible for all Canadians. Your legacy gift will help ensure the stories we tell of Canada and the programs we offer will reach new audiences for generations to come.
