Virden Pioneer Home Museum Endowment Fund
A visit to the Virden Pioneer Home Museum acquaints guests with the way of life of an established Victorian family in the Canadian West. The Museum houses a large selection of artifacts generously donated by local
area community members which depict a family home in the Victorian era and
the volunteer board members continue to maintain the building and the preservation of all the artifacts it encompasses. To keep the museum operational, we have created this Endowment Fund.
The museum has partnered with The Virden Area Foundation to establish this permanently endowed Manitoba Heritage Trust Fund to support their work. The Manitoba government established the Manitoba Heritage Trust Endowment Fund to stretch gifts to these funds. We are pleased to advise that for every $2.00 donated to our Fund – the Manitoba Heritage Trust Program will continue to “Stretch” the gift with an additional $1.00 to be added.
As of April 1, 2021, Virden Pioneer Home Museum can now accept donations to our Endowment Fund and issue official Tax Receipts directly to Donors for all donations made to our “Heritage – Virden Pioneer Home Museum Fund”.
