Where curiosity becomes possibility
When you support the Ingenium Foundation, you open doors to discovery, possibility, and futures not yet imagined. Your generosity ensures Canada’s science and innovation museums are accessible to all.
Making science accessible for every curious mind
Ingenium creates world-class museum experiences. The Ingenium Foundation makes sure no one is left out.
As Ingenium’s charitable arm, we connect supporters like you to meaningful impact by expanding access, building inclusive programs, and inspiring the next generation of Canadian innovators. At a time when science literacy and innovation matter more than ever, your support helps keep Canada curious, capable, and forward-looking.
Our work supports three national museums:
- Canada Agriculture and Food Museum
- Canada Aviation and Space Museum
- Canada Science and Technology Museum
How your support makes a difference
From protecting our heritage to inspiring the next breakthrough, your donation helps bring the full story of Canadian innovation to life:
It helps restore and care for artifacts like the Canadair Northstar.
It helps create interactive exhibitions where science and technology come alive through hands-on discovery.
And it opens museum doors to children, inspiring them to imagine themselves as future scientists, engineers, and innovators.

Many families were not able to cover transportation costs, so being able to enter the museum and attend the workshop at no cost made a huge difference to our school community. For many students, it was their first visit to the museum of science and tech — and they’re still talking about it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
