Le Fondation des arts de l'Ontario announced today $ 2.2 million in endowment income payments to 270 arts organizations across the Province of Ontario. The disbursements represent income earned on endowments created by arts organizations and funded jointly by the private sector and the government through two matching programs: the le Fonds de dotation pour les arts, et Canada Cultural Investment Fund.
“The annual income received from the Arts Endowment Fund contributes to the exhibitions and education programs we present,” says Alexandra Montgomery, Executive Director, Gardiner Museum. “The AEF Program makes a meaningful contribution to our ongoing operations for which we are truly grateful.”
“The ‘multiplier effect’ that has been possible through matching gifts programs has been instrumental in the growth and development of our own planned giving program,” adds Jennifer McGillivray, Executive Director , Festival of the Sound. “Having access to these funds means that we are able to show donors tangible growth results – using their gifts to grow and expand our programs.”
Le Fonds de dotation pour les arts (FDA) est un programme du gouvernement de l’Ontario administré par la Fondation des arts de l’Ontario. Les fonds levés par les organismes artistiques pour leur dotation étaient doublés. Chaque année les organismes reçoivent un revenu pour leurs opérations de fonctionnement. La Province de l’Ontario a engagé 60 millions de dollars en fonds de contrepartie entre 1998 et 2008. Depuis sa création, plus de 40 millions de dollars en revenu a été versés des fonds de dotations aux organismes artistiques.
Le Canada Cultural Investment Fund is a program of the Department of Canadian Heritage that provides matching funds of up to one dollar for every dollar raised privately for endowment. In 2012, 18 million in matching grants were made for the benefit of 163 arts organizations across Canada.
“Strong investment results in 2012 supported an increase in income payments,” reported Alan Walker, Directeur général, Fondation des arts de l'Ontario. “These payments can be used however arts organizations see fit, and provide a much needed additional source of revenue in these challenging economic times.”
La Fondation des arts de l’Ontario a été établie en 1991 en tant que fondation publique afin d’encourager et de faciliter les dons privés pour les arts en Ontario. La fondation travaille avec les mécènes des arts pour construire un soutien à long terme pour les arts en Ontario.
