Major gifts and bequests play a vital role in shaping the future of the Varley Art Gallery of Markham. These gifts enable us to expand exhibitions, deepen community engagement, and invest in ambitious artistic and educational initiatives. 

A major gift offers an opportunity to make an immediate and lasting impact. Whether directed toward exhibitions, programs, acquisitions, or capital projects, these contributions help us grow in meaningful and visible ways. We work closely with donors to align each gift with their interests, ensuring a partnership that reflects shared values and creates tangible results.

Bequests, made through your will or estate plans, offer another powerful way to support the gallery’s long-term vitality. By planning a future gift, you help secure the sustainability of our work while creating a legacy that endures for generations. 

Every significant gift is deeply appreciated and thoughtfully stewarded. Opportunities for recognition and naming may be available, and we are pleased to discuss how your support can be acknowledged in a way that is meaningful to you.

We invite you to connect with us to learn more about major gifts and bequests. Our team would be happy to speak with you in confidence and explore how your generosity can make a lasting difference.
