SUPPORT
YOU AND BELL LIGHTBOX – HOW YOU CAN
MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
The vision of Bell Lightbox as a dynamic cultural anchor for the city of Toronto has inspired innovative and generous giving. We have formed several successful partnerships with private and public sector supporters and to date we have raised $157 million of our $196 million goal for capital (for the building), endowment, and ongoing operating funds. We thank the many supporters who are helping us to realize our goals.
To close the campaign we need the help of hundreds of individuals who can make a difference. We do hope you will consider making a contribution to Bell Lightbox. Your investment will help us realize our dream to create the world’s first film centre of its kind, and will be much appreciated.
