SUPPORTING THE GALLERY'S FUTURE,
YEAR AFTER YEAR
The Vancouver Art Gallery Foundation was established in 1998 with the goal of creating a permanent fund to offer a steady base of operating support for the Gallery in perpetuity. These crucial funds support the long-term objectives and operations of the Vancouver Art Gallery. The Foundation’s endowment fund is guided by a Board of Directors. A percentage of the income earned from the endowment fund is distributed to the Gallery each year to support its exhibitions and programs.
Gallery staff and the Board of Directors of the Foundation are committed to ensuring that the intent and value of donor contributions are preserved in perpetuity. The Foundation’s Directors serve on a volunteer basis.
