Gift Planning
Named Endowment Funds
Endowment funds support the ROM in many fundamental ways, including research expeditions, acquisitions, public programs, curatorships and the purchase of equipment. These funds invest a donation over a period of years or in perpetuity while the investment income is spent on the Museum's highest priorities.
The ROM Governors office has been building its endowment fund in recent years, which allows the Museum a greater degree of financial stability and guaranteed income for its projects and initiatives.
You may choose to contribute to the current endowment or to establish one tailored to support your specific areas of interest. A named endowment fund is a wonderful way to commemorate your involvement with the Museum and your commitment to its future. You may also create an endowment fund to honour a loved one or to celebrate a special occasion.
