Manitoba Heritage Trust Program (MHTP)

MHTP provides support for museums and archives, to start and grow endowment funds supporting their mission.

About the Program

MHTP, initiated by the Manitoba government, is administered by The Winnipeg Foundation with support from the Association of Manitoba Museums and the Association for Manitoba Archives.

From April 2018 to March 2021, the Manitoba government is encouraging museums, archives, and supporting organizations to create an endowment fund at their local Manitoba community foundation and will provide stretch dollars for gifts to these heritage funds.

Inside Winnipeg

For museums, archives, and supporting organizations based in Winnipeg, you can create a MHTP Fund at The Winnipeg Foundation and you may be able to transition it to an Agency Fund after April 2021.

There are just two years remaining in the initiative and we don’t want your organization to miss out on the opportunity to create long term sustainability for your organization, and access stretch dollars available through the program.

Please note: These sessions are focussing on Winnipeg-based heritage organizations. The same information will presented at both sessions.

Outside of Winnipeg

For Manitoba museums, archives, and supporting organizations based outside of Winnipeg, details on how you can participate in MHTP are available at Endow Manitoba - Manitoba Heritage Trust Program.
