About Toronto Arts Foundation:

Toronto Arts Foundation is Toronto’s city-wide charity for the arts. We work in tandem with Toronto Arts Council by complementing public funding with private support and advocacy. As a catalyst and convenor, the Foundation helps artists to be successful and increases public access to the many benefits of the arts, with a focus on equity-deserving and under-served communities. Our work is fuelled by the belief that the arts build a stronger Toronto.
