As an important Toronto landmark and internationally recognized Canadian icon, the CN Tower realizes the importance of giving back to its communities as a responsible corporate citizen.

For years, the CN Tower has supported a number of recognized charitable causes through its extensive ongoing initiatives including two annual stair climb events and donations.

Each year, the CN Tower hosts only two annual fundraising stair climbs, one in the spring for the WWF–Canada supporting the fight against climate change and one in the fall for the United Way of Greater Toronto in support of its many community-based agencies. Combined, these two events attract over 20,000 participants and raise over $2.5 million each year.

Note: The CN Tower is committed to these two stair climb events only at this time and will not consider any other requests.

For many years, the CN Tower has supported local and regional fundraising efforts through its donations program. Due to the volume of requests, please note the following policies and procedures when submitting a request.
