Ingenium Foundation - Amplifying Ingenium’s Mission:

The Ingenium Foundation is a major champion for advancing scientific literacy and inspiring innovators across Canada. We amplify all aspects of Ingenium’s mission which includes giving Canadians an opportunity to celebrate our country’s rich history of scientific discoveries.  

Our mantra is ‘Science for All’ - every Canadian, regardless of their background, education, location, physical, cognitive and financial abilities feels empowered and valued in shaping the future of scientific knowledge, understanding and practice.

The foundation works closely with philanthropic supporters and organizations in order to ensure the greatest level of access to Ingenium’s museums, exhibitions, collection and national programs. Our supporters are passionate about science and believe scientific understanding and inspired innovators are critical in growing a happy, healthy and prosperous Canada.

The Ingenium Family:  The Canada Agriculture and Food Museum, The Canada Aviation and Space Museum and The Canada Science and Technology Museum

Unique in the world of museums, Ingenium supports three sites in Canada’s capital city that include renowned collections, a state-of-the-art research centre as well as an active airstrip, a working farm and a locomotive shop.

The breadth of our collection enables visitors to learn about how our food is produced; how we manage food in space; and then learn how we are using our space exploration to learn more about agriculture on earth.
