Siemens donated $3.5 million to a research facility at the HSC, but the facility would likely be stocked with Siemens equipment. Ironically they didn't even get their name on the project because of a corporate policy on some sort. (Kleysens picked up the naming rights).<br /><br />@Anon: The Manitoba Club Friends didn't donate anything significant that I'm aware of. Just the "vision". If the government wanted to pull their donations (both direct & via corps and agencies) I don't think there's anything the Friends could do about it.cherenkovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15355986781478585611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2559260500579382213.post-54833421348214601652012-01-11T17:21:00.065-06:002012-01-11T17:21:00.065-06:00Every time I look at the UFG site I`m struck by ho...Every time I look at the UFG site I`m struck by how LARGE a project they`ve planned. Beautiful layout for the Manitoba Club, they couldn`t ask for more! Like the CMHR, nobodies going to visit this place either. But, at this location, that was probably the point. Will the donors let their money migrate to the CMHR? Nope, as I've said,they're improving their view.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2559260500579382213.post-71081605231701355972012-01-11T07:48:05.232-06:002012-01-11T07:48:05.232-06:00The CMHR might be looking at raising more private ...The CMHR might be looking at raising more private funds at the national level, but that will be even more difficult than raising money locally.<br /><br />Donors expect something in return for their money: naming rights, employees wearing the company logo at volunteer events, an opportunity to brag about how the company is "making a difference", etc. <br /><br />For Winnipeg donors, these things will be noticed by many or most of their customers. For national donors, these things will only be visible to a tiny fraction of their customers even if you factor in out-of-province visitors, making the CMHR a tough sell.The View from Sevenhttp://theviewfromseven.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
