The Glenn Gould Prize Fund

The Glenn Gould Prize Fund was established by The Glenn Gould Foundation and launched by a cornerstone contribution from the late Floyd S. Chalmers, C.C. The proceeds of the 1985 International Bach Competition ,held in Toronto were added to the Prize fund.

Other contributors include the Government of Canada, the Government of Ontario, the City of Toronto, the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and a number of individuals and foundations.  The fund was managed by The Canada Council for the Arts until 2000.  Since then, The Glenn Gould Foundation has since administered the Prize fund.
