The Canadian Fund for International Understanding through Culture (Can4Culture) aspires to strengthen global understanding through the shared experience of culture. Our vision is to bring people together, transcend differences, and celebrate connections. Our aim is to create opportunities for cultural collaboration that transcend national boundaries and cement relationships for Canada by supporting cultural exchange, student exchange and cultivating mutually beneficial relationships, particularly in cultural heritage, art, literature, drama, music, science and history.

Because We Care

During this COVID-19 pandemic, Can4Culture is donating surgical masks to medical professionals and essential front line workers. The generous support from anonymous donors enabled the purchase of thirty thousand surgical masks for donation. One of the major donors, a Canadian of Chinese heritage said “ Irrespective of the colour of the skin or our diverse heritage, this is home for us all and I want to contribute and help make a difference to this country we call home.”

THANK YOU dear donors.

We salute to all the medical professionals and essential front line workers during this time.
