We are proud of what has been accomplished to date, but we know there is still much to be done.

The Cascapedia River Museum is a registered Canadian charity and non-profit organization. Donations are eligible for an official Canadian tax receipt.
To help secure the museum's long-term future, the Board of Directors established the Cascapedia River Museum Trust Fund, administered by the Fondation Communautaire Gaspésie–Les Îles, a member of Community Foundations of Canada. Revenue generated by this fund helps support museum operations and provides a stable foundation for the years ahead.
