Art is good for you
Being a non-profit organization, the Museum must rely on the generosity of the community to transform lives. Its exhibitions inspire, its education and community engagement initiatives open hearts, its one-of-a-kind collection sparks awe, and its talent and know-how put Montreal on the world map.
The Museum Foundation’s annual fundraising campaign raises money to support the institution’s priorities. This year’s target is $850,000.
The MMFA is your Museum.
Give today.
A real impact
Your support allows us to achieve important things on many levels, be it preserving global cultural heritage or inspiring a feeling of wonder in local children.
Last year, thanks to you:
- 170 artworks were added to the Museum’s collection, further diversifying the eras and perspectives represented
- Over 21,000 students across Quebec were engaged through educational activities
- Over 9,000 people experienced the benefits of art through the accessibility program Sharing the Museum
- Over 23,000 people took part in the Museum’s family activities free of charge
- 12 temporary exhibitions showcasing internationally renowned artists were presented, which stimulated thoughtful discussions
Your donations make it possible for a large number of students from underprivileged backgrounds to enjoy meaningful cultural experiences and to benefit from the enrichment that access to culture brings. Our students’ creative potential is greatly enhanced thanks to you, the Museum’s donors.

From issues like trauma, to working with people on the autism spectrum and more recently to welcoming adolescents who have fled Ukraine with their families, our art therapy program can serve as a valuable collaborator to our partners in clinical and community settings. I was able to witness first-hand the positive impact of our art therapy initiatives.
