Inspiring Stories

Celebrating your philanthropy

Many of us are familiar with the expression ‘the people make the place’ and nowhere is this truer than at ROM. The Museum would not be a world-class cultural institution without the generous support of so many individuals, families and corporations. Here are just a few stories of ROM volunteers and donors who have gone above and beyond.     

 

The School Visits Bursary Program puts learning into children’s hands, inviting them to handle real objects and artifacts, and to engage with passionate experts.

Inspired by a passionate ROM volunteer, the new IARTS Textiles of India Fund will celebrate the splendour and influence of Indian textile arts in perpetuity.

The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) proudly congratulates Hatch as the 2015 recipient of Outstanding Corporation Award at the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP) Philanthropy Awards.
