Bowstrings donors and partners help create a sense of belonging and recognition among those who engage with our sites and their stories. Join them! Connect people of different backgrounds, experiences, and identities with the diverse cultural history of Banff and the Bow Valley.
Major Donors
We deeply appreciate ongoing annual support through the Edmonton Community Foundation.
Other Financial Supporters
Many private individuals share our goals and values. They share with us financially, and benefit from Bowstrings Heritage Foundation’s status as a registered Canadian charity.
Grants from the Banff Canmore Community Foundation and Calgary Foundation have helped us create and grow. Organizations like KEA Canada and the Bow Valley Food Alliance have aligned with us to support specific events. We also want to extend our appreciation to the Wim and Nancy Pauw Foundation.
Indigenous Map Collaborators
Thank you to multiple Elders and Knowledge Keepers, as well as the Town of Banff, Buffalo Nations Museum and Historical Society of Alberta for their contributions to our map. We are currently working with Digital Museums Canada to add breadth and depth to the stories behind this living document.
Other Partners
Bowstrings Heritage Foundation is a member of the Banff Culture Collective.
We are interested in establishing additional reciprocal partnerships with other actors in the heritage community. Get in touch to discuss ways we might collaborate to achieve mission-aligned results.
