In 1994, the Hudson's Bay Company donated its corporate archives to the then-named Provincial Archives of Manitoba, and its museum collection to The Manitoba Museum, both public institutions. These gifts earned a substantial tax saving, most of which was put to work in the name of history by establishing the Hudson's Bay Company History Foundation. The Foundation, in turn, provides core funding to ensure the maintenance of the Company's gifts and to support the initiatives of Canada's History.
The Department of Citizenship and Immigration provided support for Kayak's first double issue, All about Canada! A kid's guide to what every Canadian citizen should know. Printed in English and French, Kayak's printed "citizenship" issue was sent to Heritage Fairs across Canada as well as being distributed digitally.
TD's involvement with the Governor General's Awards began in 2006.

The McLean Foundation was established in 1945 by the late Mr. J. S. McLean, with subsequent gifts and bequests by other members of the family. Considering appeals from a wide spectrum of non-profit organizations (the Arts, Education, Conservation, Health and Welfare), the foundation endeavors to maintain a flexible policy for its recipients, with particular emphasis on projects showing promise of general social benefit but which may initially lack broad public appeal. This year, the McLean Foundation is providing general support for Kayak.
