Ways to Give
The Donor Bill of Rights
CNE Archives Project
The Canadian National Exhibition Foundation is on a mission to save priceless CNE memories. It’s a race against time to digitize and preserve more than 64,000 photo negatives in the CNE archival collection before the precious images are lost forever. You can help save the CNE’s history for future generations.
Smiles on Faces Program
The CNE Foundation’s Smiles on Faces Program treats some of the GTA’s most vulnerable kids to an unforgettable day of fun, memories and smiles! You can help a child take a break from their real-life challenges for a day and help put a smile on their face.
Youth Sports Programs
Community support of our fundraisers throughout the year enables the CNE Foundation to sponsor Youth Sports Programs that help young athletes create lasting memories and develop essential life skills that help them achieve their potential. Your support ensures that more kids have the opportunity to play and thrive.
Community Investment
The CNE Foundation is committed to supporting organizations that share our community vision and whose mandates fall within one of our core funding pillars — Agriculture and the Environment, Arts and Culture, Industry and Entrepreneurship, and Community Building.
Eamonn O'Loghlin Scholarship Fund
The Eamonn O’Loghlin Scholarship Fund bestows grants to assist outstanding post-secondary students as they pursue their studies. Students employed by the CNE or Exhibition Place, who work at the annual fair, are eligible to apply.
