For a second year in a row, the Volunteer Council (VC) and the AGO Development team are excited to present the Volunteers of the AGO with the opportunity to select a gallery project to financially support using funds from the Volunteer Endowment Trust (VET).
The Volunteer Endowment Trust (VET) was established in 2001 with a Letter of Agreement between the AGO, The AGO Foundation and the Volunteers of the AGO. The original capital that created the fund continues to remain invested and, each year, an annual distribution of 4% of the fund (approx. $50,000) is made available in order to fund a project. The AGO Development team has identified 4 projects for consideration that reflect the Gallery’s strategic priorities of Art, Access and Learning:
- Exhibition Support: Robert Houle: Red is Beautiful (December 3, 2021- April 3, 2022) Dates subject to change
- Program Support: Access Initiative
- Program Support: Virtual School Programs
- Exhibition Support: Matthew Wong: Blue View (August 14, 2021 – April 18, 2022) Dates subject to change
The 4 options are outlined in the link below, and you can ONLY CHOOSE ONE PROJECT to support. For more details on each project including exhibition images and donor recognition details, please see the PDF attachment, sent via Holly’s email. (If you missed this, feel free to email Holly for an additional copy of the PDF).
