Toronto Ward Museum Fall Appeal

If this past year has taught us anything it’s that kinship, solidarity, and community are integral to our collective well-being and survival. Despite unprecedented changes and challenges, the Toronto Ward Museum continued to develop programming that brought people together through stories of migration and built organizational resilience. This year, we have:

• Conducted our third year of our Block by Block program in Agincourt, Parkdale, Regent Park, and Victoria Park.
• Equipped 16 youth with the skills and training for oral history collection, exhibit curation, and community-centered research.
• Hired two emerging co-leaders of the Toronto Ward Museum to sustainably grow and maintain our work.

The Toronto Ward Museum is integral to the social fabric of the city, we need funding and full-time staff in order to sustainably achieve our strategic goals and impact through 2022 and beyond. Your generous support would help us:

• Preserve and animate migration histories in rapidly changing neighbourhoods;
• Ensure opportunities for growth and professional development of marginalized community members within the museum and heritage sector; and
• Increase awareness of cross-cultural relationships and alliances between newcomers and (im)migrants with shared memories of movement, place, and survival.

Please donate to the Toronto Ward Museum today, all contributions are tax deductible in Canada. Your generous support will go a long way to help us achieve our vision — a society that values immigrants as makers of Toronto’s past and present, bringing together people of all backgrounds to shape a more just, equitable and sustainable future. 

Our work is not possible without the support of donors like you. Thank you so much.
