We rely on our donors to deliver accessible public programming.
Take action and join our generous network of supporters today.
From June - October, our volunteers guide thousands of residents and visitors through park lands, into seldom visited spaces, and through the city’s diverse neighbourhoods. Your support allows us to explore new stories, offer tours for free, and expand into digital programming.
When we invest in the next generation, we invest in the foundations of long-term success. Your support will help provide essential educational, professional, networking, and development opportunities to young and aspiring city-builders.
Heritage Toronto’s Plaques Program is the most active program of its kind in North America, producing over 100 plaques a year. Your donation will support the expansion of digital programming, increasing accessibility and access to all of our plaques.
Our public education projects engage new and expanded communities in the discovery, writing, and preservation of our city’s history. With your support, we can forge new frontiers in city-building through digital projects and programming, school outreach, lectures, and community partnerships.
We invite you to become a part of the Heritage Toronto Storyteller Fund and breathe life into the narratives we share all year long. Your contribution will empower us to uncover, create, and celebrate the unique stories that make Toronto truly extraordinary.
Your monthly contribution is an ongoing investment in our ongoing work.
Through pre-scheduled credit card payments, a monthly donation allows us to plan ahead and use your gift most efficiently. Donation schedules and amounts can be changed or cancelled at any time.
Make a gift in honour or memory of someone special to you.
A gift in honour of a friend, loved one, or colleague is a meaningful way to pay tribute their life or to celebrate a birthday, wedding, or other milestone. A tax receipt is issued to you, and card is sent to the person or their family to inform them that a gift was made in their honour.
Make a gift of securities, such as shares, stocks, and bonds
It’s an easy way to maximize your impact and earn substantial savings on taxes. By donating appreciated securities directly, you avoid capital gains tax.
A pledge to Heritage Toronto in your will ensures you will be transforming the way people remember Toronto for generations to come.
A legacy gift can provide you with immediate or deferred tax benefits, customized to suit your personal financial goals.
Your donation goes twice as far with a corporate matching gift. Many companies will match employees’ donations with an equal commitment. Speak to your HR department or check the lists below to see if your company will match your donation, or make a financial pledge to recognize your volunteer time.
Through any United Way campaign, you can direct part or all of your donation to Heritage Toronto.
