About Endowment

The Canadian Endowment for the Humanities and Social Sciences was established by the Federation in 2001 to build secure, sustainable and long-term support for the organization's objectives and activities on behalf of its members.

Building on the Federation's long history as convenor of and advocate for the humanities and social sciences in Canada, the Endowment will serve to enhance objectives in five general areas:

  • Outreach and Advocacy
  • Renewing Scholarly Infrastructure
  • Awards and Recognition
  • Enhancing Dissemination of Research
  • Research Development

Please read the Endowment's case statement for a more detailed explanation of objectives, and consider supporting the Endowment with a tax-deductible pledge.
