WELCOME TO THE HNATYSHYN FOUNDATION

The Hnatyshyn Foundation, a private charity established by the late Right Honourable Ramon John Hnatyshyn, Canada's twenty-fourth Governor General, began awarding grants in 2005. Each year our Developing Artists Grants program provides eight $10,000 scholarships to exceptional young Canadians in post-secondary performing arts training programs. The Foundation also awards two annual prizes for excellence in Canadian visual arts: $25,000 for a mid-career artist and $15,000 for a mid-career curator of contemporary visual art.
