2023-2028 Major Fundraising Campaign of the MMFA Foundation
As a not-for-profit organization, the Museum largely relies on your donations to fulfill its cultural and social mission.
A pivotal moment for the MMFA
Founded in 1860 and developed over the years thanks to the generosity of generations of Montrealers, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) is one of Montreal’s top attractions and a major hub of cultural and community engagement. As a not-for-profit organization, the Museum largely relies on your donations to fulfill its cultural and social mission.
With its gaze set firmly on the future and guided by the vision defined in its first strategic plan, the Museum is undertaking several key projects that will allow it to fully play its role and make it possible for everyone to experience the benefits of art.
The Museum aspires to transform lives through art.
To this end, the MMFA is planning to undertake several key projects involving the transformation of its spaces and offerings – a necessary endeavour at this pivotal moment, when museums are being called upon to redefine their role.
Goal: $100 M
over five years

Why give?
When you give to the MMFA, you give to the community: be it art lovers coming to the Museum seeking inspiration; families, students and teachers having fun learning as they experience the wonders of the collection; older adults gathering to socialize and create in good company; or people in difficult circumstances enjoying a moment of respite and sometimes even finding the support they need to rebuild their lives.
Your contribution to this exceptional collective effort will enable the MMFA to enhance its artistic programming and promote its collection of nearly 47,000 works; maintain its commitment to the community; and continue to implement the principles of diversity, equity, accessibility and inclusion (DEAI) through the implementation of special projects.

Special projects
Throughout its history, the MMFA has instilled and preserved a culture of belonging and inclusion with its visitors, donors and admirers. In visiting this museum regularly, we have expanded our field of interests and enjoyed stimulating discoveries and encounters, thanks especially to its guided tours, cultural activities and educational programs. Our exposure to the art world has enriched our lives, and this is something we wish everyone to experience.
