from the federal, p rovincial, and

municipal governments matched by

private foundations, corporations,

and ind ividuals. Working Capital for

the Arts has attracted strong initial

funding support, getting the program

off to a strong start. We must now

secure the remaining portion of

the $3.05 million in private-sector

fund ing. We are counting on your

support, and the support of Toronto’s

business and philanthrop ic com-

munity, to help us reach our target.
