Markham Foundation for the Performing Arts

The Markham Foundation for the Performing Arts provides grants and support to performing arts organizations and artists in the Markham area and across the Greater Toronto Area. The foundation funds theatre companies, dance ensembles, orchestras, and individual performers working in music, drama, and related disciplines. By directing resources to both established institutions and emerging artists, the foundation strengthens the local arts infrastructure and helps ensure performances and training opportunities remain accessible to community members. The foundation's grants support production costs, artist development, educational programming, and venue operations, allowing arts organizations to sustain their work and reach broader audiences.
