More Ways to Donate
Donating publicly traded securities is one of the most tax-efficient ways to give. By donating stocks, bonds, or mutual funds directly to the museum, you can eliminate capital gains tax while receiving a charitable tax receipt for the full market value of your gift.
Your contribution will have an immediate impact while also maximizing your tax benefits. To make a gift of securities, please contact us and we’ll guide you through the process.
Create a lasting impact by including the Chinese Canadian Museum in your estate plans. Legacy gifts — such as bequests, life insurance, or retirement funds — help ensure that future generations can continue to learn from and engage with Chinese Canadian history.
Planned giving is a meaningful way to support the museum’s long-term vision while aligning with your personal values. We would be honoured to work with you and your advisors to help shape your legacy.
Why give? And how your donation helps

Donor Stories
Across Generations and a Nation: Linda Wong’s Story
Linda’s hope in being a founding donor to the Chinese Canadian Museum is that the oral histories of previous, present and future generations will be shared and safeguarded for all Canadians. In this story, she has chosen to highlight her father in the cross-Canada history of her family.
From Chinatown Roots to Lasting Legacy: Teresa Mew’s story
For Teresa Mew, the story of her family in Canada begins in 1899, when her grandfather arrived and settled in Vancouver’s Chinatown. During the Depression he moved to Alert Bay to operate a general store, later returning to Vancouver after the war to purchase a building on Pender Street.
Honouring the Past, Inspiring the Future: A Donor Story — Gordon R. Lee
For Gordon R. Lee, supporting the Chinese Canadian Museum (CCM) is far more than philanthropy — it’s an act of remembrance, a tribute to the courage of those who came before him, and a way of ensuring that their stories continue to be shared for generations to come.
Honouring One of our First Donors: Edward Pon
The Chinese Canadian Museum’s story is inseparable from the people who believed in it from the very beginning — those who knew the stories of Chinese Canadians must be told, preserved, and celebrated. One of those remarkable champions is Edward Pon of Calgary.
