This permanent endowment fund was established by the Friends of Dalnavert Museum Inc. to help maintain the former family home of Sir Hugh John Macdonald, a provincial and national historic site, as a vibrant year-round museum in the heart of downtown Winnipeg. Gifts to this fund are invested in perpetuity and the annual income generated for grantmaking is distributed to Friends of Dalnavert Museum Inc. to be used at their discretion.
