BMO today announced a $500,000, five-year donation to the National Museum of Mexican Art to increase access to arts education programming for all Chicagoland residents, particularly the Mexican community. The funding is an extension of BMO's annual giving of $50,000 per year to support the museum's operations and visual arts programming, plus $50,000 per year for novel education initiatives.

The new donation will fund a redesign of the museum's arts education studio and establish a new staff position dedicated to onsite education and engagement. The gift will enable the museum to double the number of students served by its onsite programming, providing access to the only culture-based arts programming of its kind in the Chicago area.

"Donations like these are at the core of our Purpose to Boldly Grow the Good in business and life," said David Casper, U.S. CEO, BMO Financial Group. "We are pleased to partner with the National Museum of Mexican Art to provide critical access to the arts for the entire Chicago area. This partnership exemplifies our commitment to a thriving economy, sustainable future, and inclusive society throughout the communities we serve."
